For big tech, the future in Saudi Arabia lies in nurturing local expertise
Saudi Arabia's accelerated transformation under Vision 2030 is rewriting the rules of business in the Kingdom. In this generational shift, IT is not just an enabler but a cornerstone of progress, at the heart of which lies the powerful nexus of Data & AI, Cloud, and public sector modernisation, fuelled by privatisation and unprecedented government investment. For global technology firms, the opportunity is vast. Yet too many still follow sales-driven playbooks, doing little to build long-term value. Over the past two decades, the trajectory of multinational tech in Saudi Arabia has evolved in phases. Initially, the Kingdom was serviced remotely via regional or global hubs. Following government mandates, companies began establishing physical offices to meet rising demand for IT Services. But today, the stakes have changed. As the Kingdom advances towards Vision 2030, the scale and sophistication of its ambitions demand a deeper, more meaningful commitment. It's one that centres on people and talent. Mamdouh Alolayan, Managing Director for Saudi Arabia at DXC Technology, a leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, believes the firms that thrive in this next phase will be those that embed themselves in the local fabric. 'Saudi Arabia's workforce is its greatest asset,' Alolayan said. 'Saudi nationals understand the culture, the ambitions, and they're here for the long run. For global tech leaders like DXC that see the Kingdom as a key market, embracing Saudization goes beyond mere compliance, it's a competitive advantage.' DXC advocates a deliberate, three-pronged strategy. The first, and arguably most critical, is to see Saudization as an opportunity to harness the deep knowledge and commitment of local professionals. The company credits its success in the country to a workforce that is nearly 50% Saudi, with females making up 40% of that number. It aims to increase overall Saudization to 60% in the next three years, with a continued emphasis on gender inclusion. 'The leadership of the Kingdom has been very clear that unlocking the potential of Saudi women is key to driving the economy,' Alolayan added. 'Diversity and inclusion is built into our hiring and development strategy, and it helps us to attract and retain the industry's brightest talent.' Another hallmark of companies making an impact in the Kingdom is how they approach the next generation of talent. 'The Kingdom's vision spans decades, so tech firms can't ignore the importance of building generational talent pipelines,' Alolayan said. Graduate programmes and internships have always been part of the playbook, but the most effective ones go beyond basic training and menial tasks. 'We recognise the immense potential of young professionals,' he added. 'And we work to unlock it by aligning their skills to real projects, giving them structured development plans, and pairing them with mentors. Within two months, they're already working on live projects.' DXC's graduate program, for example, has a retention rate of nearly 80%, evidence of how a meaningful first step into the workforce can lead to sustained development and growth. The company also partners with universities such as the University of Business and Technology (UBT) and Taibah Valley to create clear pathways for students, from education to employment, something Alolayan believes all multinationals should prioritise if they want to sustain a strong pipeline of Saudi talent. The third area that still tends to be overlooked by some firms is social impact. Too often, the focus stays narrowly on contracts and delivery, without much thought for how a company can engage with and enrich the wider community. But Vision 2030 is about more than economic KPIs — it's also about improving quality of life for everyone. 'Technology is only as good as the lives it improves,' Alolayan pointed out. 'At DXC, this ethos comes to life in partnerships with organizations such as Saut: The Voice of Down Syndrome Society and Ekhaa, a charitable foundation for Saudi orphans. 'Our commitment to making a meaningful social impact keeps us connected to the communities in which we work and live, and it reminds our people why what we do matters,' he said. For Saudi professionals, this is a moment of unparalleled opportunity. DXC itself is currently looking to hire over 150 Saudi professionals as it expands its presence across the Kingdom. Such investments by Big Tech that align with the government's ambitions to lead global efforts across emerging domains like AI, cloud, and cybersecurity are creating meaningful, high-impact careers. But there's also a note of caution. 'Young Saudis should look carefully at the organisations they choose to join,' Alolayan advised. 'Some still see Saudization as a box to tick, rather than a genuine opportunity to invest in the development of individuals. If you want to grow, seek out a company that will mentor you, develop your skills, and treat you as part of their long-term vision. That's how you build a globally competitive career while contributing to the Kingdom's success story.' For those who join companies with a more rounded, people-centred approach, the payoff is clear. 'As Saudi Arabia's transformation gathers pace,' Alolayan said, 'these professionals will not only witness the Kingdom's transformation, but will also be active contributors in shaping its future.'

DXC, 7AI launch global AI security service to boost efficiency
DXC Technology and 7AI have launched a global strategic partnership that will see the deployment of an AI-powered security operations service across DXC's worldwide customer base. The new initiative, called DXC Agentic Security Operations Centre (SOC), aims to automate core security operations through the integration of 7AI's agentic platform. The two firms stated the platform will reduce manual processing bottlenecks, offering potential time savings of 30 minutes to 2.5 hours per investigation, while significantly lowering false positive rates that typically demand substantial analyst resources. Operational efficiency gains According to data from 7AI, the platform processed more than 568,000 alerts and saved security teams 224,000 analyst hours in 2025 alone, which is equivalent to 112 years of analyst work and an estimated USD $11.2 million in productivity gains for users. DXC Technology will integrate 7AI's technology into its own managed security services globally, providing autonomous AI agents throughout processes including alert ingestion, risk investigation, and incident remediation. The platform's capabilities are intended to extend beyond simple automation, offering what DXC and 7AI describe as a fundamental change to how managed security is delivered. The use of autonomous agents is designed to scale coverage, offer faster response times, and reduce operational costs for organisations facing an increasing volume of cyber threats. "The use of AI enhances security efforts by boosting efficiency, augmenting human skills, and enabling SOCs to scale and deliver greater value in the face of growing cyber threats. The future of security operations isn't about more tools or more automation, it's about intelligent AI agents that deliver measurably better outcomes. By partnering with 7AI, we're pioneering the next phase of managed security services, delivering better insights, faster response times and, ultimately, superior protections for our customers," said Chris Drumgoole, President, Global Infrastructure Services at DXC. Internal use and results DXC has also implemented 7AI's platform within its own internal security operations centre. According to Mike Baker, DXC's Global Chief Information Security Officer, after deploying 7AI's technology the company observed an 80% reduction in tier 1 SOC analyst time, a 95% drop in the number of tickets needing human analysis, and a 67% cut in mean time to respond for tier 1 and tier 2 operations. How it works The 7AI platform leverages what the company calls Dynamic Reasoning technology, enabling the AI to autonomously decide on investigative actions for novel and previously unseen threats in real time. This approach is designed to avoid reliance on static, pre-written playbooks or rules, and it is intended to further reduce the incidence of false positives and improve incident investigation times. Customers deploying the new DXC Agentic SOC will receive security expert support for implementation and ongoing operations, as well as access to incident response and breach management services. The managed service also includes the provision of anonymised threat patterns, contributing to the continual improvement of threat detection while maintaining strict client data protection standards. Additional services tailored to each customer include governance, risk, and compliance support. Broader industry context The launch of the DXC Agentic SOC comes amid continued expectations that artificial intelligence will play a greater role in cybersecurity operations globally. Both DXC and 7AI stated that partnerships leveraging AI in security operations are set to deliver improvements in speed, scale, and operational cost, compared to traditional, manual approaches. "DXC's global cybersecurity scale - serving hundreds of customers, across 25 delivery centers that process 4.5 million daily security threats – provide the real-world data environment essential for advancing our AI. This combination of proven security leadership and operational breadth makes DXC the ideal partner for delivering truly agentic security solutions to the enterprise market. This partnership validates our vision for a new era where security teams can focus exclusively on security outcomes. DXC customers will experience what it means to have AI agents that continuously improve their understanding of each organization's unique security context," said Lior Div, CEO and Co-Founder of 7AI. 7AI projects that with ongoing adoption, its platform will save customers upwards of USD $100 million in 2025 through further reductions in manual security operations workload and analyst resource needs.
