CPX Holding Acquires spiderSilk to Accelerate Global Cybersecurity Ambitions 

In a major step toward establishing the UAE as a global cybersecurity powerhouse, CPX Holding, a leader in integrated cyber and physical security solutions, has acquired spiderSilk, one of the region’s most innovative cyber-AI startups.

This strategic acquisition includes spiderSilk’s flagship exposure management platform, Resonance, as well as its broader portfolio of AI-powered cybersecurity products. The move positions CPX to deliver more intelligent, agile, and proactive defence solutions across public and private sectors, while advancing its global expansion strategy.

Combining AI Innovation with End-to-End Security Expertise

Founded in 2019, spiderSilk has quickly made its mark by building and commercialising regionally developed cybersecurity tools, including:

• Autonomous SOC AI agents

• A first-of-its-kind cyberintelligence platform based on a global Internet knowledge graph

• Solutions trusted across MENA’s public and private sectors

The acquisition combines spiderSilk’s product-driven innovation with CPX’s comprehensive threat detection and incident response capabilities—creating a full-spectrum cybersecurity offering. “By uniting two of the UAE’s top cybersecurity innovators, we’re building a powerhouse in cyberthreat detection and response,” said Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX. “Together, we are ready to expand globally and offer organisations the AI-powered defence tools they need to stay ahead of increasingly complex cyberthreats.”

A Launchpad for Global Growth

CPX aims to leverage this acquisition to scale into key international markets, including North America, Saudi Arabia, and across the GCC. The acquisition aligns with the UAE’s national vision to lead in cybersecurity and AI, bolstering its position as a regional and global innovation hub.This is a watershed moment for cybersecurity in the region,” said Rami El Malak, CEO and Co-Founder of spiderSilk. “With CPX, we can accelerate our reach and impact, enabling more businesses to defend against modern threats with regionally developed, world-class technologies.”

spiderSilk’s R&D hub will remain a key driver of innovation, continuing to push the boundaries of cyber-defence and product development from the UAE.
