Beyon sweeps 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
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, said Beyon in a statement.
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clients to leverage the latest AI and automation technologies in security operations, and move away from the slow and outdated methods that struggle to keep up with fast evolving cyber threats, at a fraction of the typical cost.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, it stated.
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 Shaikh 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, he stated.
On the award win, Shaikh Khalid said: "These awards reflect the outcomes we deliver - and the ambition we bring to the region. We're proving that cybersecurity innovation can be built locally, scaled regionally, and trusted globally."

New 'North Gulf' Submarine Cable to Connect Bahrain with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq
During the official visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, to the United States, Beyon announced today a new agreement to develop the "North Gulf" project. This is an 800-kilometer undersea cable system that will extend the existing "Gulf Cable" by linking Bahrain with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq. The project will be fully owned and operated by Beyon in partnership with SubCom, a global leader in submarine cable systems that is currently working on the Gulf Cable network. The North Gulf expansion will strengthen Bahrain's position as a strategic digital hub, connecting the region to the rest of the world through the latest SEA-ME-WE 6 undersea cable, which stretches over 21,700 kilometers and links Bahrain to 14 other countries across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. This new cable system will improve Bahrain's ability to handle data traffic, ensure data sovereignty, support global connectivity, enhance digital resilience, and boost cybersecurity. Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Chairman of Beyon Group, emphasized the importance of the Crown Prince's visit to the friendly United States and highlighted the key role it plays in strengthening the strategic partnership between Bahrain and the U.S., especially in the private sector. Commenting on the agreement, Sheikh Abdullah said, 'Our partnership with SubCom is a major step in supporting Bahrain's vision for a digital economy. Connecting Bahrain to global networks while improving speed, efficiency, and flexibility is essential to building a strong digital infrastructure. This investment advances our goal to create a dynamic digital ecosystem that drives innovation, supports economic development, and opens new opportunities for future transformative technologies.' David Coogan, CEO of SubCom, added, 'We are pleased to deepen our partnership with Beyon through the North Gulf project. Our ongoing collaboration demonstrates our shared commitment to delivering reliable, scalable solutions designed to meet the evolving communication needs and challenges in the Middle East.' The North Gulf cable project is expected to provide advanced global communication solutions tailored to the growing demands of cloud computing companies, digital service providers, and government entities. It will also strengthen data exchange routes and enhance network efficiency and stability both regionally and internationally.
