GITGUARDIAN ENTERS SAUDI ARABIA TO STRENGHTEN CYBERSECURITY FOR VISION 2030
Security Advisor Middle East
|December 2025
GitGuardian, global leader in nonhuman identity cybersecurity, has officially entered the Saudi Arabian market by completing a 12-day strategic immersion under Business France's Booster Grow Global program.
-
This marks GitGuardian’s first structured entry into the Kingdom, during which the French Tech-certified company engaged with government agencies, giga-project leaders, and major enterprises across Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. The immersion paved the way for potential partnerships and demonstrated GitGuardian’s commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity transformation in line with Vision 2030.
Founded in 2017, GitGuardian is recognised as a breakthrough innovator, aligned with the France 2030 initiative, and is trusted by over 600,000 developers and companies worldwide to secure the identities of machines and the secrets they hold (API keys, credentials, etc.) in today’s cloud-driven and Al-powered environments.
Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a global technology hub. Ambitious initiatives like NEOM, Qiddiya, and the upcoming Expo 2030 in Riyadh are driving a wave of digital acceleration across the Kingdom. Correspondingly, the Saudi cybersecurity market is experiencing explosive growth. It reached approximately $6 billion in 2024 and could exceed $17 billion by 2030. In fact, Saudi Arabia now ranks #1 worldwide on IMD's 2024 Cybersecurity Index, reflecting its maturation as a cyber-secure nation. At the same time, threat activity is intense: the Kingdom endures tens of millions of cyberattack attempts annually (over 160,000 attacks per day in one recent study), making it the most targeted country in the Middle East.
