As nations across the Middle East accelerate AI adoption to fuel economic diversification, aligned with initiatives like Saudi Vision 2030, UAE’s AI Strategy, and similar ambitions in the GCC—organizations are deploying generative AI, copilots, and agentic systems at unprecedented speed. However, this rapid innovation expands the attack surface, introducing vulnerabilities that traditional security tools cannot address, such as prompt injection, jailbreaking, data exfiltration, PII leakage, and tool misuse in autonomous agents.
Votal AI’s CART platform delivers 24/7 autonomous red teaming using advanced reasoning agents, proactively identifying these risks, mapping them to business impact, and providing AI-assisted remediation. It generates compliance-ready reports aligned with global standards like the EU AI Act and GDPR, as well as regional frameworks including Saudi Arabia’s PDPL, SAMA Cybersecurity Framework, NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls, and emerging requirements across the GCC.
“The Middle East is leading the world in ambitious AI-driven transformation, but this progress demands equally advanced security. Our engagements at Black Hat MEA revealed a shared recognition among CISOs and CEOs: AI adoption outpaces traditional defenses, exposing critical sectors to novel threats. Enterprises are deploying AI faster than security can adapt, and they’re seeking autonomous solutions that match the velocity of innovation while ensuring resilience and regulatory compliance.”
— Bobby Gupta, CEO of Votal AI
“Black Hat MEA convened the region’s foremost cybersecurity experts, and the demand for continuous, agentic red teaming was clear. Leaders understand that AI security is essential for national resilience, protecting sensitive data, financial systems, and infrastructure. We’re committed to empowering organizations to innovate confidently with tools built specifically for LLMs and agentic AI.”
— Jyotirmoy Sundi, CTO of Votal AI
