Cyber ResilienceBlack Hat MEA this year made one thing clear: Saudi organizations are moving toward cybersecurity models built on automation, precision, and sustained readiness. This event was held in Riyadh from December 2, 2025, to December 4, 2025.
Being showcased under the Go Business Pavilion, Complyan and Hawkeye drew attention from teams across banking, energy, telecom, aviation, and government-linked sectors. The conversations were not theoretical; they were rooted in real operational pressure.
What Saudi teams came looking for
Every visitor described the same challenges:
- Evidence scattered across departments
- Manual SAMA and NCA ECC documentation cycles
- SOC teams overloaded with noise
- Difficulty proving compliance between audits
- Limited visibility across expanding cloud environments
Complyan and Hawkeye answered these gaps in a way Saudi teams immediately understood.
Complyan’s impact on GRC teams
Saudi organizations appreciated how Complyan allows them to maintain continuous compliance instead of preparing in bursts every quarter.
They saw how automated evidence review, structured control mapping and audit-ready documentation help meet SAMA, NCA ECC and PDPL obligations without burning internal resources.
The value wasn’t “more tools.”
It was clarity, consistency and predictable compliance cycles — aligned with Saudi regulatory pressure.

Hawkeye’s impact on SOC teams
Hawkeye stood out for its agentic SOC capabilities — autonomous enrichment, context-driven correlation and real-time visibility across digital assets.
Saudi SOC teams face enormous expectations under NCA guidelines, and Hawkeye gave them what they rarely see:
- Reduced noise
- Faster triage
- Enriched alerts with actionable context
- Monitoring that matches the speed of threat actors
What this means for the Kingdom
Saudi Arabia’s cybersecurity posture is maturing fast. But scaling compliance and detection without exhausting internal manpower requires a new foundation — one built on automation, alignment, and operational discipline.
At Black Hat, organizations saw that Complyan and Hawkeye weren’t just tools. They were multipliers for teams under increasing regulatory and operational pressure.
