🏆 FrontierZero Named “Rising Star in Cyber Defence 2025” at CSC Awards
FrontierZero—founded in the UAE and built for modern SaaS security—has just been named Rising Star in Cyber Defence 2025. Here's what it means and what’s next.

We’re excited to share that FrontierZero has been recognized as the Rising Star in Cyber Defence 2025 at this year’s prestigious Cyber Security Council Awards in Dubai.
For a company born in the UAE 🇦🇪, built for modern SaaS security, and backed by a team with deep roots in cybersecurity, this award is more than a milestone. It’s momentum.
Why This Matters
We didn’t start FrontierZero to win trophies. We started it because we saw a problem that most security teams were trying to ignore.
Companies were:
- Losing track of apps and identities across their SaaS stack
- Struggling to enforce policies like MFA beyond the core crown jewels
- Flying blind on behavioral risk—unable to tell if a user was working late or exfiltrating data
Legacy tools weren’t built for this. And the consequences—breaches, compliance failures, insider risk—kept piling up.
FrontierZero exists to bring real-time visibility, context, and control back to modern security teams. Not just at the endpoint or the perimeter, but in the SaaS layer where business now lives.
What the Award Recognizes
The CSC Awards are organized by the UAE’s Cyber Security Council and celebrate innovation, impact, and leadership in cybersecurity across public and private sectors.
We were honored in the Startups category for:
- Advancing identity-first SaaS security
- Helping companies map, monitor, and manage risk across hundreds of apps and integrations
- Building a UAE-grown company with a global mission to reduce SaaS chaos
It’s a proud moment—and a signal that the region is ready to lead in cybersecurity, not just follow.
Being recognized on this stage, in front of peers and global leaders, is both humbling and energizing. It tells us we’re solving the right problem—and solving it the right way. – Karl McGowan, Co-Founder at FrontierZero
