Cybercy Gulf supports organisations across the UAE and wider GCC in strengthening their cybersecurity, improving data protection through practical, governance-led solutions and adopting AI responsibly.
Cybercy is a business founded on both personal and professional experience
A few years before the creation of Cybercy, I was the victim of a serious fraudulent cyberattack. The experience inspired me to explore cybersecurity in depth and sparked a commitment to help others avoid the same misfortune. Since then, our team has continued to grow, expanding our expertise across cybersecurity consulting, data protection and AI Governance & Enablement.
Having spent considerable time in the UAE and wider Gulf over the years, I saw a region embracing digital transformation at an incredible pace and recognised a need to bring Cybercy’s practical, governance-led approach to organisations across the region.
Today, our presence in the UAE, UK and India combines regional delivery with international cybersecurity, data protection and AI expertise, supporting organisations across the Gulf and beyond.
Cybercy’s aim is to simplify the cybersecurity, data protection and AI governance requirements facing organisations, embedding practical solutions that reduce risk and support secure growth.
Cybercy’s aim is to simplify organisations’ data protection, cybersecurity & AI Governance & Enablement requirements and to ensure pragmatic solutions are embedded to minimise risks.
