Vulcan innovative GenAI security solutions has made significant strides in the Middle East with strategic partnerships at GITEX Global 2025, the largest technology event in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
Building on the team’s selection into the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator earlier this year, leading members of the G42 ecosystem are now using the Vulcan solutions to advance safe and responsible GenAI adoption across the MENA region. These partnerships reinforce Vulcan’s position as the leading GenAI security solutions, empowering enterprises to deploy AI safely and responsibly.
Since joining the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator in June as one of only ten startups chosen from more than 120 global applicants, the company team has leveraged the program to scale its business across the region. Presight, a leading global AI and big data analytics company with Abu Dhabi-based G42 as its majority shareholder, has played a pivotal role in introducing Vulcan to strategic partners, industry leaders, and regulators across MENA.
The first announcement was with CPX, another G42 company and a leading provider of end-to-end cyber and physical security solutions and services. CPX is offering the innovative Vulcan GenAI security solutions in several target markets.
Both teams have already worked together to test LLM applications for clients across multiple languages – including Arabic, English, Hindi and Kazakh. Leveraging the Vulcan scalable and automated testing tool, the teams generated over 140,000 attack prompts covering over 20 threats and over 25 attack techniques to provide actionable threat insights to the clients. This is a testament to the Vulcan team’s deep understanding of GenAI attack scenarios and unmatched ability in risk detection.
Through the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator, the Vulcan team is engaging with Astra Tech, the consumer arm of the G42 ecosystem and the company behind botim and botim money. As Astra Tech advances its AI-native and fintech-first consumer ecosystem through botim, which serves more than 150 million users globally, the Vulcan team will assess its specialized AI systems to support alignment with leading global standards for safety, security, and responsible innovation.

“We are honored to have earned the trust of several top players in AI and cybersecurity here in the UAE. The Presight AI-Startup Accelerator has more than fulfilled its promise to scale our business across MENA. Upon launching Vulcan in the Middle East at the start of this year, it was our ambition to work closely with the G42 group. Through our work with Presight, CPX and Astra Tech, we have fulfilled this objective and are looking forward to taking our collaborations global.”
Thomas Pramotedham, Chief Executive Officer of Presight, said that, “It is remarkable to see the velocity of the Vulcan team’s progress, with announcements with CPX and Astra Tech since joining the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator’s inaugural cohort. We recognized early on that their GenAI safety and assurance capabilities would integrate seamlessly within the G42 ecosystem. With commercial traction now accelerating, the next phase focuses on closing key contracts and projects, driving systemic momentum in AI across industries and borders.”
Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX, stated that the partnership with Vulcan enhances CPX’s ability to deliver advanced, end-to-end GenAI security solutions. He described the Vulcan platform as a strong complement to CPX’s leading security offerings and expressed enthusiasm about expanding the collaboration into new markets and opportunities.
Dr. Tariq Bin Hendi, Board Member and CEO of Astra Tech, emphasized that security is the foundation of responsible AI, not just a feature. He highlighted Astra Tech’s commitment to building trusted technology through rigorous system testing. Partnering with Vulcan, he noted, brings expert AI red teaming capabilities that align with Astra’s safety-first mission, helping ensure platforms like Botim are secure, resilient, and ready for real-world deployment.
