The AI slots into existing systems to manage alerts and compliance tasks swiftly.

com aims to expand globally while targeting new design partners and sectors.

Secure.com, a cybersecurity outfit based in the UAE, has pulled in USD 4.5 million in fresh funding from Disrupt.com, and it’s wasting no time rolling out what it calls its Digital Security Teammate. I remember chatting with a few founders at an Arageek event last year who complained that managing security tools was “a bit of a faff,” especially for teams running lean. So this idea of an AI agent acting like a proper colleague rather than another dashboard to babysit feels, well… spot on.

The startup, founded by Uzair Gadit, has been building AI-driven agents that behave much like human security analysts. The pitch is simple: organisations deserve enterprise-level protection even if they don’t have the headcount of a giant corporation. I reckon that’s a message that will hit home for many mid-market teams juggling cloud systems with tiny security departments.

The new Digital Security Teammate—DST, as they’ve branded it—slots into a company’s existing security stack, where it digs through alerts, triages incidents, and even handles compliance tasks. And believe it or not, the team claims it can be deployed in minutes and show value within the first half-hour. Gadit put it quite plainly in a statement, saying the agents “take the night shift, clear the queue, and catch what humans miss while explaining every action,” adding that one DST can match the workload of both an L1 analyst and a security engineer “at a fraction of the cost.”

Early rollouts are already happening in finance, healthcare, and tech. These are the sorts of sectors where one missed alert can cost a fortune, so it makes sense they’re giving the tech a go. Secure.com is now looking for more design partners across tech, fintech, XDR, MSP, and MSSP circles as it gears up for wider expansion in the GCC, APAC, and the US. On the flip side, scaling across such varied regions can be a bit of a headache—sorry, headace—but the company seems confident it has the groundwork in place.

For those of us who’ve watched MENA’s startup landscape mature, it’s encouraging to see cybersecurity finally getting the limelight. And if these AI teammates genuinely make security clearer rather than more complicated, plenty of founders will be chuffed to bits.
