Odyssey Cybersecurity and its ClearSkies™ Centric AI Threat Detection, Investigation and Response (TDIR) Platform, participated in Black Hat MEA - one of the region’s key cybersecurity events, where the company showcased The Strategic Evolution of Cybersecurity and the Rise of the Autonomous SOC.
During the event, Odyssey presented its AI-powered cybersecurity solutions that support and advance Saudi Arabia’s national cybersecurity vision.
Over the three-day event, Odyssey and ClearSkies™ demonstrated their latest advancements, designed to help public and private organizations detect, investigate and respond to cyber threats with greater speed and precision. These advancements support security teams in progressing from enhanced visibility to increasingly autonomous, AI-powered defense while strengthening their resilience as threats continue to become more sophisticated.
The company also provided an exclusive preview of the next evolution of ClearSkies™, including newly integrated Generative and Agentic AI capabilities and DNS Shield: a cloud-native DNS security solution delivering full visibility across DNS activity, users and devices, and blocking malicious or AI-generated domains in real time, even those capable of evading traditional defenses such as firewalls, EDR and legacy SIEMs.
Odyssey’s growing regional footprint in Saudi Arabia
Odyssey continues to strengthen its presence in Saudi Arabia, supported by its strategic office in Dammam and a dedicated team of more than 20 cybersecurity professionals serving organizations across the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia remains a pivotal market for Odyssey, driven by its rapid digital transformation, strong national cybersecurity strategy, and its emergence as one of the world’s most dynamic cybersecurity ecosystems. This expansion underscores Odyssey’s long-term commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s evolving defense landscape and aligning with national priorities.
“Participating in Black Hat MEA allowed us to engage directly with regional stakeholders on the challenges and opportunities surrounding AI-driven cybersecurity threats. With Saudi Arabia’s ongoing digital transformation under Vision 2030, organizations require locally compliant and effective cybersecurity tools. Through ClearSkies™ Centric AI TDIR platform and Odyssey’s AI-Powered Managed Services, we aim to support organizations in improving detection and response capabilities while maintaining operational continuity even under attack," Christos Onoufriou, CEO, Odyssey / ClearSkies™ commented.
Market outlook and challenges
Saudi Arabia’s rapid digital transformation — driven by Vision 2030 — continues to advance technological maturity and cybersecurity capabilities. However, this expansion introduces increased exposure to sophisticated threats such as AI-enhanced phishing, advanced social engineering, deepfakes, and adaptive malware.
While progress has been made in governance and compliance, many organizations still face challenges in achieving continuous visibility, faster detection, and access to cybersecurity talent. As digital environments grow more hybrid and complex, real-time monitoring across the full attack surface and rapid threat response have become essential to sustaining operational resilience.
Odyssey’s ClearSkies™ platform responds to these challenges by combining holistic telemetry, Generative and Agentic AI capabilities and automation. Built on the proprietary Centric AI Fabric powered by private, offline Large Language Models (LLMs), ClearSkies™ ensures data privacy, sovereignty and compliance with Saudi regulations. Its continuous learning capabilities improve detection accuracy and enable faster responses designed to stop even the most advanced threats. It is engineered to augment human analysts today while seamlessly transitioning to an Autonomous SOC tomorrow, predicting and preventing risk at machine speed.
As part of its regional expansion, Odyssey is also exploring collaborations with local MSSPs, system integrators and technology partners, enhancing access to AI-powered cybersecurity capabilities throughout the Kingdom.
