Beyon Cyber tops list for third year
TDT | Manama
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.

Lifestyle-driven mobility seen reshaping UAE's auto future
In the past, the purchase of a car was driven by utility, brand reputation, or resale value. Today, it's steered by something far more personal: lifestyle. In cities like Dubai, where luxury, design, and technology shape consumer behavior, mobility is becoming a reflection of one's identity, rather than a mechanical choice. This new paradigm is forcing automakers to think differently—not only about how they engineer vehicles, but how they embed them into the aspirations, routines, and values of modern drivers. At the forefront of this evolution are two Chinese car brands owned by Chery International - Omoda & Jaecoo. Unlike traditional car brands, Omoda & Jaecoo is created not to compete in the past - but to serve the preferences of a new generation of drivers who value experience over horsepower, emotional connection over features, and environmental consciousness over excess, said its Regional Brand Manager Alaa Shata. Omoda, in particular, was conceived as a design-first, culture-forward brand. Its ethos mirrors the lifestyle of digitally native, urban consumers who want their vehicle to match the rest of their curated world - from the phone in their hand to the clothes they wear. The Omoda C5, for instance, features not just smart technology, but a bold visual identity, clean lines, and an unmistakable road presence that resonates with a generation attuned to aesthetics and social visibility. Globally, this shift is evident: a Capgemini study found that 72% of consumers under 35 see the car as an extension of their personal brand. "In a city like Dubai, that number is arguably even higher. Cars are not simply owned—they're worn, displayed, and photographed. This has made automotive design and tech integration as important as engine specs and emissions ratings," observed Shata. On the other end of the spectrum, Jaecoo appeals to a more grounded - but no less lifestyle-focused - demographic: individuals who crave freedom, exploration, and purpose-built elegance. For example, the Jaecoo J8 doesn't just promise off-road capability - it delivers an immersive luxury experience in remote terrain, with features like air suspension, customizable mood lighting, and terrain-response AI systems that adapt to everything from dunes to mountain roads. This growing convergence of adventure and affluence aligns strongly with the UAE's rising affinity for experiential luxury. Recent studies report that younger luxury consumers globally are shifting away from traditional assets and toward emotionally resonant purchases - experiences, status symbols, and identity-driven brands. Jaecoo sits perfectly at this intersection: a lifestyle SUV that's as suited for Jumeirah as it is for Jebel Jais. What distinguishes both brands is their ability to speak the language of modern living - whether through user experience, digital personalization, or aesthetics. Omoda & Jaecoo isn't pushing a product - it's inviting consumers into a world. Their launch strategy in the UAE, from curated showrooms to immersive test drives and community engagement, reflects a model where mobility is embedded in culture, not separated from it. As Dubai positions itself not just as a mobility hub but as a global influencer in design, luxury, and innovation, vehicles that align with that vision will shape what we drive, how we drive, and why we drive. Brands that understand this will win the next generation of drivers - not by selling them a machine, but by offering them a mindset.
