CloudSEK, a leading AI-powered cyber threat intelligence firm, showcased its cutting-edge Nexus platform at GISEC GLOBAL 2025, held from May 6–8 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. As the Middle East’s premier cybersecurity event, GISEC brought together over 25,000 information security professionals, 750 global cybersecurity companies, and delegates from 160+ countries. The event was organized in collaboration with the UAE Cybersecurity Council, Dubai Electronic Security Centre, the Ministry of Interior, and Dubai Police.

CloudSEK’s presence at Booth A110 in Hall 7, hosted within CyberShelter’s pavilion, generated significant interest from CISOs, government stakeholders, and industry leaders. The company conducted live demonstrations of its flagship Nexus platform—an AI-powered external threat intelligence command center designed to proactively predict and quantify cyber risks across sectors.

CloudSEK Nexus: A Unified AI-Powered Command Center

The CloudSEK team—Gurdip Singh, Samir Karnik, Suhayil K, and Mohammed Rizvan—led interactive demonstrations of Nexus, highlighting how the platform unifies cyber threat intelligence, connects attack surface insights, and quantifies the business impact of security risks.

Built to support enterprise and government cybersecurity teams, Nexus delivers real-time visibility into external threats, turning complex cyber data into clear, actionable insights. The platform’s core capabilities include:

• Mapping and monitoring the digital attack surface
  
  
• Aggregating threat intelligence from open, deep, and dark web sources
  
  
• Quantifying risk based on business-critical impact
  
  
• Visualizing threat data for effective executive decision-making
  
  

The demonstrations positioned Nexus as a critical solution for modern security operations, particularly in sectors like banking, oil and gas, energy, telecom, manufacturing, and government services.

At the center of CloudSEK’s engagement at GISEC was its live demonstration zone, where the team offered a behind-the-scenes look at how Nexus operates in real-time. The demos showcased active cyber threats from around the globe, including data leaks, malware campaigns, and exposed credentials—captured live from open sources, deep web, and dark web forums. 

Using Nexus’s intuitive interface, CloudSEK analysts walked visitors through real examples of threat actors selling sensitive data, including compromised business assets and personally identifiable information (PII), while explaining how such information could be weaponized.

These sessions attracted chief information security officers (CISOs), security architects, risk managers, and government decision-makers, many of whom were impressed by the platform’s ability to aggregate and contextualize disparate threat signals into a single, easy-to-understand dashboard. By highlighting real dark web intelligence and connecting it to an organization’s external attack surface, CloudSEK demonstrated how Nexus offers early warning signals—enabling security teams to prevent breaches before they happen.

What particularly stood out for attendees was CloudSEK’s Risk Quantification engine. During the sessions, the team showed how Nexus not only detects external threats but also calculates their potential business impact—expressed in tangible terms such as revenue loss, regulatory exposure, or reputational damage. This ability to translate technical risks into boardroom-level metrics helped attendees visualize the value of Nexus beyond the security operations center—making it a strategic tool for business resilience and executive decision-making.

Strong Indian Representation at GISEC

India’s cybersecurity community had a strong showing at GISEC this year. Led by the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), the India Pavilion featured over 15 cybersecurity companies showcasing solutions across threat intelligence, data privacy, application security, quantum technologies, and SOC operations.

The initiative aimed to foster cross-border collaboration between India and the UAE, building linkages among cybersecurity solution providers, user organizations, and government stakeholders. CloudSEK was among the key Indian players drawing attention for its innovative, AI-first approach to digital risk.

GISEC 2025 Highlights: Where Cybersecurity Meets Strategy

GISEC 2025 stood out not just for its scale but also for the depth of discussions and real-world focus. The event hosted several themed stages addressing urgent global security challenges:

• Main Stage: Top global CISOs shared case studies and breach stories, with a strong emphasis on emerging threats such as AI-generated deepfakes, ransomware-as-a-service, and generative AI in phishing and fraud campaigns.
  
  
• Global Cybersecurity Congress (UAE Cybersecurity Council): Focused on multilateral cooperation, national cyber defense strategies, and public-private threat-sharing frameworks.
  
  
• Government Stage (Dubai Electronic Security Centre): Explored cyber resilience in governance, including smart cities, citizen data protection, and sovereign cybersecurity infrastructure.
  
  
• Critical Infrastructure Stage: Experts discussed threats to power grids, 6G telecom networks, nuclear systems, and essential utilities—highlighting how modern infrastructure is becoming a primary target for nation-state actors.
  
  
• Dark Stage: Hosted live hacking demos and showcased the latest in digital forensics, cyber warfare tools, and hardware security breakthroughs.
