FrontierZero, a UAE SaaS startup, will showcase its security platform at GITEX Global 2025.

Their Security Posture Management platform addresses the rising demand for SaaS access visibility.

Recognised locally, they won the *Rising Star in Cyber Defence 2025* award.

As cloud adoption grows in MENA, they aim for global expansion without losing regional relevance.

Visitors at GITEX can see live demos at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Hall 8.

FrontierZero, a rising SaaS security startup out of the UAE, is gearing up to take the stage at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai, showcasing its Security Posture Management (SSPM) platform as part of Alibaba Cloud’s partner stand. The event, set for 13–17 October, is one of the biggest technology gatherings on the planet, pulling in more than 200,000 visitors and thousands of exhibitors. For a young regional player like FrontierZero, that’s no small feat—it’s a spot in the limelight alongside global heavyweights.

The company’s co-founder Karl McGowan described the showcase as an important moment, pointing to the growing demand among chief information security officers (CISOs) for visibility on access rights across sprawling SaaS systems. In his words, businesses are wrestling with the simple but urgent question: “Who has access to what, where and when, and is it safe?” And honestly, if you’ve ever tried managing multiple apps with overlapping permissions, you’ll know it can be a bit of a faff.

FrontierZero claims its platform maps every user, app and integration in real time, flagging up risks and misconfigurations before they turn into vulnerabilities. The firm has already been recognised locally, having bagged the title of *Rising Star in Cyber Defence 2025* from the UAE Cyber Security Council. That said, it still faces the uphill climb every regional startup confronts: scaling globally without losing sight of home-grown relevance.

I reckon what makes FrontierZero particularly interesting is its timing. Cloud adoption is surging across MENA, and regulators are pushing for stronger compliance. Companies are not just looking for fancy dashboards—they need tools that can simplify security so they can actually get on with their business. From my own time chatting with founders through Arageek’s coverage of the entrepreneurship scene, this balance between innovation and compliance often makes or breaks a young venture.

Alibaba Cloud’s partner zone at GITEX tends to be buzzing with traffic, so exposure won’t be the issue. On the flip side, rubbing shoulders with global competitors also means scrutiny—buyers will want to see real substance, not just slick demos. Still, if FrontierZero can show that it delivers spot on, practical answers to SaaS headaches, they’ll be chuffed to bits with the outcome.

Visitors keen to catch the action can find the team at Hall 8 of the Dubai World Trade Centre. Expect live demos, product walk-throughs, and a chance to see how an Emirati-founded outfit is taking on gaps in global SaaS security. And for anyone with an eye on MENA’s startup trajectory, this is another signal that the region isn’t just catching up—it’s pushing into spaces that used to feel out of reach.

FrontierZero’s next steps will be telling. Whether this GITEX splash translates into enterprise deals and long-term credibility remains to be seen. But for now, they’ve put themselves right where the action is, and that’s definately half the battle.
