Beyon Cyber tops list for third year
Beyon Cyber has achieved a rare double honour from Deloitte, emerging as the only company in the region to win both the 'Fastest-Growing Cybersecurity Firm' title and the new 'Kiyadat' award for high-performing GCC-led companies.
The Bahraini firm, part of the Beyon Group, secured its place in the 2025 Middle East & Cyprus Technology Fast 50 for the third consecutive year. It also became the sole recipient this year of both recognitions, highlighting its sustained growth and leadership in one of the region's most trust-sensitive sectors.
Bahraini-led success
Beyon Cyber is 100 percent Bahraini-managed and stands as the largest private employer of Bahraini nationals in the cybersecurity field. Its inclusion in the new 'Kiyadat' category underlines its alignment with national talent strategies and regional digital ambitions.
'Winning this recognition three years in a row confirms that Beyon Cyber is among the fastest-growing technology companies in the region,' said Dr. Shaikh Khalid bin Daij Al Khalifa, CEO of Beyon Cyber. 'In a list dominated by SaaS and Fintech players, we're proud to be the only cybersecurity company recognised.'
Regional recognition
The Deloitte Fast 50 ranks firms by verified four-year revenue growth and highlights innovation and performance. Emmanuel Durou, Partner and DME TMT Leader at Deloitte, noted, 'Beyon Cyber's consistent performance in the Fast 50 - and its top ranking in the new Kiyadat category - firmly positions it as one of the Middle East's most strategically important tech firms.'
Growth ahead
The company has announced plans to expand its regional footprint, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It will also scale up its innovation engine through Beyon Cyber Labs, which serves as its R&D hub for next-generation cybersecurity solutions.
Beyon Cyber says the recognition is not just a measure of growth, but a reflection of its long-term commitment to digital resilience and homegrown talent.
