Yesterday, Rapid7 announced the establishment of its local entity, marking a significant strategic investment in the region. This expansion reinforces the company’s long-term dedication to the UAE and its business ecosystem while supporting the country’s digital transformation and electronic resilience goals.
The firm has obtained a certification from the Dubai Cyber Security Centre, which highlights its commitment to adhering to stringent security standards to assist government entities and various other sectors.
A new office has been launched in Dubai, especially as the cybersecurity market in the UAE is projected to reach $4.51 billion by the end of 2025. Additionally, cybersecurity has been identified as a national priority by the UAE government.
Kory Thomas, the CEO of the company, stated, “Dubai is a hub of innovation, driven by its strategic investments in digital infrastructure, supportive government policies, and a comprehensive technology ecosystem. Cybersecurity is a crucial component in enabling these initiatives.”
“Our investment in specialized cloud infrastructure allows organizations in the UAE and the Gulf region to access a world-class cybersecurity platform. We aim to foster partnerships with local businesses and governments to better protect the UAE’s digital future.”
