OryxLabs specialises in providing cybersecurity solutions to protect clients from emerging cyber threats. Their expertise lies in advanced research, engineering, and innovation.

This strategic acquisition enables EDGE Group to broaden its portfolio and address critical challenges in cybersecurity, both locally and internationally.

Mansour AlMulla, the Managing Director and CEO of EDGE, emphasised the importance of enhancing capabilities and expanding offerings in line with the group’s rapid growth and emphasis on creating sovereign capabilities.

“Adding OryxLabs into the Group is a logical step, enabling us to elevate our portfolio of advanced technology solutions.
