A company of The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, CloudSEK has formed a strategic partnership with Seed Group, marking a major expansion of the Indian cybersecurity firm into the GCC market. The move positions CloudSEK as the first active Indian cybersecurity company to join Seed Group’s global network, an important milestone for Indian-origin cyber innovation in the Middle East.
Founded in 2015 by former threat researcher Rahul Sasi, CloudSEK specialises in AI-powered cyber threat intelligence designed to predict, detect and prevent attacks. Through the partnership, the company will bring its advanced, AI-driven cybersecurity capabilities to a region facing rapidly rising digital threats. Seed Group, known for enabling international companies to scale across the UAE and GCC, will support CloudSEK in delivering next-generation cyber risk solutions to governments and enterprises.
The UAE, now a major hub for global trade and digital innovation, sees more than 200,000 cyberattacks daily, many targeting government, finance, energy and insurance sectors. As threats grow in scale and complexity, CloudSEK’s platform offers real-time detection, contextual analysis, and early warning signals that help organisations neutralise risks before they escalate. This aligns with the Middle East’s escalating demand for predictive, AI-first cyber defences.
The CEO of Seed Group and The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum,Hisham Al Gurg, commented, “CloudSEK’s advanced cyber threat intelligence solutions offer organisations a vital layer of digital assurance. Its AI platform is capable of scanning, analysing and neutralising threats across the surface, deep and dark web with remarkable speed and precision. This proactive approach to cybersecurity will help bolster Dubai’s position as a leading digital hub and open doors for broader regional cybersecurity advancements.”
With the regional cybersecurity market projected to rise from USD 16.75 billion in 2025 to USD 26.04 billion by 2030, organisations are increasingly seeking deeper intelligence capabilities. CloudSEK’s proprietary AI scans the surface, deep, and dark web, analysing vast datasets to deliver actionable insights across 170 use cases—covering brand protection, digital risk, supply chain security and attack-surface monitoring. CloudSEK’s technology has already prevented high-impact breaches for major financial institutions, demonstrating its potential to reduce reputational and financial damage for critical sectors across the GCC.
“This partnership with Seed Group is a key moment for CloudSEK as we expand into the GCC market. Being the first active Indian cybersecurity company to join Seed Group’s network is a significant recognition of our technology’s relevance and trustworthiness. Together, we are confident in helping businesses and governments in the region stay ahead of evolving cyber threats,” stated Rahul Sasi, Co-founder and CEO of CloudSEK.
The partnership not only strengthens regional cyber resilience but also underscores India’s rising influence as a global source of cybersecurity innovation. As more governments and enterprises turn to Indian-origin solutions, CloudSEK’s GCC expansion exemplifies the growing reach of India’s cyber-tech leadership.
