To strengthen its position in the MENA cybersecurity market, Darktrace has announced the establishment of a new legal entity in Saudi Arabia, alongside the opening of an office in Riyadh.
Set to open its doors in January 2026, the Riyadh office will be located in the Kingdom Centre, providing Darktrace with a strong base to enhance customer support and technical engagement across the Kingdom and the wider MENA region.
In addition to its new office, Darktrace has joined the Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC).
Through its network of over 200 prominent British and Saudi member companies, the SBJBC is enhancing access to influential government and private sector networks.
The recent participation of Darktrace is set to strengthen the connections between the UK and Saudi business communities.
The establishment of Darktrace’s office aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. As Saudi Arabia prepares for major events like the AFC Asian Cup, Asian Winter Games, and World Expo, the pressing need for hardy cybersecurity solutions becomes increasingly apparent, as the digital landscape poses new challenges during rising risks.
Through its Self-Learning AI technology, Darktrace is set to assist organisations in navigating sophisticated cyber threats across various digital environments, from email systems to cloud infrastructures.
The company’s local presence will not only facilitate faster deployments but also foster deeper partnerships with industries prominently featuring oil, gas, and petrochemicals, where Darktrace has already established a strong foothold.
The Riyadh office will provide an additional location for Darktrace to serve its 280 customers across MENA.
“With Saudi Arabia investing more than $14.9 billion in AI and emerging technologies and its cybersecurity market set to grow at up to 13% annually, our presence in Riyadh ensures we can support organisations in one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving markets in the world,” said Nicole Eagan, Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor, Darktrace. “It’s another important step in Darktrace’s growth strategy as we continue to invest in markets where we see strong demand for AI-driven cybersecurity.”
