Vulcan Expands GenAI Security Presence in MENA

Vulcan’s cutting-edge GenAI security solutions are making waves across the Middle East and North Africa, following a series of strategic partnerships announced at GITEX Global 2025—the region’s largest tech event. These collaborations mark a major milestone in Vulcan’s mission to promote safe and responsible GenAI adoption, reinforcing its position as a leader in AI security.

Earlier this year, Vulcan was selected for the prestigious Presight AI-Startup Accelerator, one of only ten startups chosen from over 120 global applicants. Since joining in June, the team has rapidly scaled its operations across MENA, supported by Presight—a global AI and big data powerhouse backed by Abu Dhabi-based G42. This partnership has opened doors to key industry players and regulators, accelerating Vulcan’s regional impact.

A standout collaboration was unveiled with CPX, a G42 company specializing in cyber and physical security. CPX is now deploying Vulcan’s GenAI security tools in several target markets. Together, the teams have tested large language model (LLM) applications across Arabic, English, Hindi, and Kazakh, using Vulcan’s automated testing platform to generate over 140,000 attack prompts. These tests covered more than 20 threat types and 25 attack techniques, delivering actionable insights and showcasing Vulcan’s unmatched expertise in GenAI risk detection.

Vulcan is also working with Astra Tech, G42’s consumer arm and the force behind botim and botim money. As Astra Tech evolves its AI-native fintech ecosystem serving over 150 million users globally, Vulcan is assessing its AI systems to ensure alignment with top-tier safety and innovation standards.

With these strategic moves, Vulcan is setting a new benchmark for GenAI security in the MENA region—empowering enterprises to innovate with confidence.

Alvin Kwock, co-founder of Vulcan said, “We are honoured 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.”
