Beyon Cyber tops list for third year
TDT | Manama
Beyon Cyber has achieved a rare double honour from Deloitte, emerging as the only company in the region to win both the 'Fastest-Growing Cybersecurity Firm' title and the new 'Kiyadat' award for high-performing GCC-led companies.
The Bahraini firm, part of the Beyon Group, secured its place in the 2025 Middle East & Cyprus Technology Fast 50 for the third consecutive year. It also became the sole recipient this year of both recognitions, highlighting its sustained growth and leadership in one of the region's most trust-sensitive sectors.
Bahraini-led success
Beyon Cyber is 100 percent Bahraini-managed and stands as the largest private employer of Bahraini nationals in the cybersecurity field. Its inclusion in the new 'Kiyadat' category underlines its alignment with national talent strategies and regional digital ambitions.
'Winning this recognition three years in a row confirms that Beyon Cyber is among the fastest-growing technology companies in the region,' said Dr. Shaikh Khalid bin Daij Al Khalifa, CEO of Beyon Cyber. 'In a list dominated by SaaS and Fintech players, we're proud to be the only cybersecurity company recognised.'
Regional recognition
The Deloitte Fast 50 ranks firms by verified four-year revenue growth and highlights innovation and performance. Emmanuel Durou, Partner and DME TMT Leader at Deloitte, noted, 'Beyon Cyber's consistent performance in the Fast 50 - and its top ranking in the new Kiyadat category - firmly positions it as one of the Middle East's most strategically important tech firms.'
Growth ahead
The company has announced plans to expand its regional footprint, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It will also scale up its innovation engine through Beyon Cyber Labs, which serves as its R&D hub for next-generation cybersecurity solutions.
Beyon Cyber says the recognition is not just a measure of growth, but a reflection of its long-term commitment to digital resilience and homegrown talent.

Bahraini Teens Explore Future Careers at 'The Takeoff' Expo in Riffa
More than 120 high school students from across Bahrain took their first step toward building their future at 'The Takeoff' – a special career and university exhibition hosted by the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation on Saturday. Held at the foundation's new headquarters in Riffa, the event welcomed students aged 16 to 18 to discover career paths, explore local university programs, and attend hands-on workshops – all designed to help them make confident decisions about their academic and professional futures. The event was held in the presence of Her Highness Shaikha Zayn bint Khalid Al Khalifa, Chairperson of the Foundation's Board of Trustees. Also attending were the Minister of Social Development, Osama Al Asfoor, and the Southern Governor, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali Al Khalifa. Foundation CEO Sabah Yousif Seyadi opened the event by welcoming guests and students, saying: 'This isn't just an exhibition – it's a launchpad for dreams. We want to help young people make informed, thoughtful choices as they plan their futures.' She stressed how important it is to prepare students for a fast-changing job market, noting that many of the jobs they will one day take don't even exist yet. 'That's why events like this matter – they give students the knowledge and confidence they need to move forward,' she said. Supported by the National Bank of Bahrain (NBB), the exhibition featured three main areas: Assessment Zone – In partnership with Education Zone, students took personality and career interest tests to help them identify fields that fit their talents. University Zone – Eight Bahraini universities presented new academic programs and spoke directly with students about their options. Workshop Zone – Students attended interactive sessions on in-demand topics like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, architecture, and digital banking. One popular session was led by Mubasher Capital. Noura Shuraida from MKF Connect, the foundation's marketing partner, called the expo a milestone event: 'It was designed to be practical, inspiring, and informative – and from what we've heard from students, it delivered exactly that.' Many students said they appreciated the clear, friendly guidance and real-world insights. For some, it was their first time speaking directly with university representatives or professionals in fields they hope to join one day. As the day came to a close, students left with new ideas, clearer goals, and a renewed sense of excitement about the future. 'This event helped me feel more sure about what I want to study,' said one 17-year-old participant. 'It really opened my eyes to what's possible.' 'The Takeoff' marks the start of more youth-centered initiatives from the Foundation, all aimed at helping young Bahrainis take confident steps toward bright futures. .

Man refuses to repay BD2,500, court sides with ex-wife
A man who accepted BD2,500 from his wife to cover dowry, wedding expenses, gold, and household furnishings — only to later abandon the marriage — has been ordered by a Bahraini court to return the full amount. The verdict came after the woman filed a civil case through her lawyer, AbdulAdheem Hubail. She told the court that the money was given to her then-husband in instalments during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when many weddings were postponed and financial difficulties were common. According to the breakdown provided in court, BD1,000 was intended for the dowry, BD600 for the wedding ceremony, BD700 was raised from selling her gold, and BD200 was spent on furnishing their shared home. Despite receiving the funds, the man later walked away from the marriage and denied owing his wife any money. As evidence, the woman submitted her bank statement showing transfers made to him. The court referred the case for further investigation to verify the debt. A second witness, found credible by the court, confirmed that the woman had lent the man the money in stages while he was unemployed. The man had reportedly acknowledged the debt on several occasions and promised to repay her once he found work — a promise he never fulfilled. The court noted that the bank transfers went uncontested. Combined with the witness testimony, the judge ruled there was sufficient proof of the debt and ordered the man to repay the full BD2,500 to the woman.
