CyberX Becomes First Portuguese Offensive Security Firm to Enter Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP)

CyberX opens its new office in Doha, Qatar.

CyberX opens a Doha office and joins the Qatar Science & Technology Park incubation program, expanding its operations across the Gulf.

DOHA, QATAR, August 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CyberX, a Portuguese company specialized in offensive security, has joined the incubation program of the Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), one of the leading technology innovation ecosystems in the Middle East, and has opened a new office in Doha. The move was formalized in July 2026.

The company confirmed that David Silva, its founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), traveled to Qatar to sign the incubation agreement and complete the company's establishment in the country. With the Doha office, CyberX now operates from three locations: Porto in Portugal, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and Doha in Qatar.

The incubation runs for an initial period of 12 months, extendable to 24 months. Its stated purpose is to accelerate the company's technology development, strengthen the international validation of its offensive security solutions, and consolidate its expansion from Qatar.

"This entry represents a milestone for CyberX. We are not simply reaching a new market. We are building another base to develop technology, establish global partnerships, attract international talent, and create a regional operation capable of serving organizations across the Middle East," said David Silva, founder and CEO of CyberX.

Through its presence at QSTP, the company plans to increase its investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied to cybersecurity, evolve its offensive security solutions, and accelerate development of The Omniscient, a threat intelligence platform created by CyberX. The platform was designed to turn large volumes of information into actionable intelligence, helping organizations anticipate threats, identify emerging risks, support strategic decisions, and respond to increasingly sophisticated attacks.

The company also expects the incubation to connect it with universities, research centers, investors, and technology companies within the QSTP ecosystem, supporting pilot projects, research and development initiatives, new partnerships, and technology validation.

"The combination of human expertise in offensive security and the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence can transform how organizations identify vulnerabilities. The goal is to make this area more continuous, intelligent, and scalable, uncovering risks earlier and responding more effectively," added David Silva.

The Doha office complements the company's presence in Porto and its earlier expansion into the United Arab Emirates through its Dubai hub. Together, the three locations position Qatar and Dubai as pillars of the company's growth strategy in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a region making significant investments in digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence, smart cities, financial services, healthcare, energy, and critical infrastructure. That growth also increases organizations' exposure to new threats and the need to test systems and infrastructure before a vulnerability is exploited.

"The greater the digitalization, the larger the attack surface. Organizations cannot simply assume they are protected. They need to test that protection in a realistic, continuous, and independent way," said David Silva.

According to the company, CyberX becomes the first Portuguese company specialized in offensive security and advanced cybersecurity services to establish operations in Qatar and join the QSTP incubation program. Its stated strategy is to use Qatar and Dubai as a technology bridge between Portugal, Europe, and the Middle East, serving clients across the region, developing local talent, and taking part in international innovation projects.

"More than exporting services, we want to build local capacity, develop long-term relationships, and help protect critical organizations. Our ambition is to position CyberX as an international reference in offensive security, threat intelligence, and Artificial Intelligence applied to cybersecurity," said David Silva.
