Black Hat MEA in Riyadh 🇸🇦 was a masterclass in how fast the region is moving from adopting cybersecurity innovations to building them. This year’s edition was a strong snapshot of Saudi Arabia’s leap toward digital sovereignty, AI-driven resilience, and sovereign compute. Conversations were direct, technical, and execution-focused, exactly the kind of environment where real partnerships emerge 🤝. Across meetings with government entities, enterprises, and innovation leaders, three themes stood out: • Cybersecurity is becoming a national capability, not a downstream service. • Sovereign compute is now top of mind with AI chips, HPC, post-GPU architectures. • POC-driven collaboration is the new standard: fewer presentations, more actual deployment. A special highlight was The Turing Club, Riyadh event at the UK Embassy, a brilliant gathering of innovators pushing the boundaries in AI and cyber. The quality of dialogue was on another level 😮‍💨. And during the U.S. Trade Mission in KSA, I had the opportunity to share insights with several American companies exploring the region. Many of them were evaluating how to position themselves for growth in the region, from capital access to strategic partnerships to real market entry pathways. My advice was simple: if they’re serious about global scale, Saudi Arabia is becoming one of the most proactive environments to build, deploy, and fund ambitious solutions across multiple verticals. Finally, Tamkeen Technologies deserves a special mention 🤍. Their pace right now is impressive: new announcements, new partnerships, and a clear commitment to strengthening the entire digital and tech ecosystem. They’re becoming a central catalyst for innovation momentum in the Kingdom. Ministry of Investment Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Saudi Arabia

The who's who of the global cybersecurity landscape is coming together in Saudi Arabia for the fourth edition of Black Hat MEA running from December 2-4, 2025 in Riyadh, and a highlight on this year’s stage will be Stefan Baldus, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at HUGO BOSS.  Commenting on the latest trends in cybersecurity today, Baldus points to threats arising from the prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) and supply chain attacks. One of the greatest risks, he points out, is not bringing operations' teams up to speed on how to respond to attacks. “As attackers are more and more weaponizing AI against companies, your security operations center needs to be fast and agile to respond," he says. "Attackers will use AI against you and will take over the companies much faster than years ago.” But in spite of the significant risk that comes with increasing AI penetration, Baldus also believes that it will be the source of the next true innovation in the industry. “The upcoming next ‘big’ thing in cybersecurity I see is around making the AI actually work, and getting the things done [as] promised," he says. "Currently, AI is still learning the patterns, the logs of security systems as such, but once the data is big enough, I think AI-driven security operations center or response systems actually can bring real value to companies.” More insights from Baldus in our full article here--which also includes a link to register for a pass to this year's Black Hat MEA, which starts tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/dRAXCMCQ #BlackHatMEA #BlackHat #BHMEA25 #cybersecurity #cybersec #innovation #tech #artificialintelligence #AI #SaudiArabia #KSA #GCC #MiddleEast #MEA
