Empowering technologies at Black Hat 2025: A successful conclusion and a secure future
Tamkeen Technologies concluded its distinguished participation in the Black Hat Middle East and Africa 2025 Conference and Exhibition, the world’s leading technology event in the field of cybersecurity, hosted by the Saudi capital, Riyadh. This participation underscored the company’s firm commitment to strengthening the Kingdom’s digital infrastructure and supporting efforts toward a secure digital transformation.
Strategic presence and innovative solutions
The Tamkeen Technologies pavilion witnessed a large turnout of experts, specialists, and decision-makers, where the company showcased a range of its latest innovative digital solutions based on open-source technologies and secure government software. The participation focused on highlighting the company's role as a strategic technology partner for the government sector, emphasizing its achievements in building technology systems that meet the highest standards of security and reliability, reflecting the maturity of the Saudi experience in localizing technology.
Black Hat: From Las Vegas to Riyadh
To understand the significance of this event, one must consider the historical context of the Black Hat conference, which first launched in 1997 in Las Vegas, becoming the world's premier platform for exchanging information on cybersecurity. With its largest edition moving to Riyadh, the Kingdom has transformed into a global hub for cybersecurity experts. The 2025 edition will further solidify Riyadh's position as the region's technology capital, bringing together ethical hackers, software developers, and government entities to discuss emerging cyber threats and how to address them.
Local and regional impact: Vision 2030 and digital security
Tamkeen Technologies’ participation in this event is particularly significant given the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which positions cybersecurity as a cornerstone of national and economic security. With the accelerating pace of digital transformation in both government and private services, the need for advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect sovereign and personal data is growing. This event contributes to raising regional awareness of the importance of investing in cybersecurity, not only as a protective measure but also as an engine for economic growth and attracting foreign investment seeking a secure and stable digital environment.
A promising future for national talents
Tamkeen's participation extended beyond simply showcasing solutions; it also included supporting young Saudi talent through workshops and panel discussions held throughout the conference. Empowering Saudi youth in the fields of cryptography, ethical hacking, and digital security engineering is a long-term investment that ensures the Kingdom's continued technological leadership in the face of escalating global cybersecurity challenges.
