Manama, Bahrain: Beyon Cyber, part of the Beyon Group, has been recognized with three major accolades at the 2025 Cyber Security Excellence Awards. — one of the industry’s most renowned awards, voted on by the global cybersecurity community and independently assessed.
Competing in the highly contested 100–500 employee category, Beyon Cyber outperformed regional and global peers to win:
• Fastest Growing Cybersecurity Company
• Excellence in Cybersecurity Innovation (Beyon Cyber’s proprietary platform, Intel X)
• Cybersecurity CEO of the Year
These awards are a clear signal of Beyon Cyber’s emergence as a pioneering cybersecurity force built in Bahrain, with the vision, scale, and in-house technology to redefine how cyber defense is delivered across the region.
Developed in 2024 by Beyon Cyber Labs in Bahrain, Intel X is now actively deployed across regional enterprises, allowing IntelX enabled clients to leverage the latest AI and automation technologies in security operations, and move away from the slow and outdated methods that struggle to keep up with fast evolving cyber threats, at a fraction of the typical cost. IntelX delivers this effect through real time threat intelligence detection and containment across an enterprise’s security controls in seconds as opposed to weeks, significantly minimizing risk and exposure to known threats. This one-of-a-kind tool was recognized with the Innovation award, further solidifying Beyon Cyber’s role as a disruptor in security operations space.
Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders, the largest global community of cybersecurity professionals and the organization behind the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards said, “Beyon Cyber stood out for its momentum, product innovation, and executive leadership in one of the world’s most competitive regions.”
The Cybersecurity CEO of the Year award honours Dr. Sh. Khalid bin Daij Al Khalifa and the wider executive team for their leadership in steering Beyon Cyber through a phase of rapid growth, regional market penetration, and innovative in-house developments.
“These awards reflect the outcomes we deliver — and the ambition we bring to the region,” commented Dr. Sh. Khalid Al Khalifa, CEO of Beyon Cyber. “We’re proving that cybersecurity innovation can be built locally, scaled regionally, and trusted globally.”
With an expanding ecosystem of clients, strategic partnerships, and ongoing investment in R&D, Beyon Cyber is not just growing — it is pioneering a more secure digital future for the GCC and beyond.
