Blacklight opens its Middle East presence at the DIFC Innovation Hub

Blacklight has formally opened operations at the Dubai International Financial Centre’s Innovation Hub — joining a growing community of cyber, fintech and AI businesses serving the Middle East region.

The DIFC presence brings Blacklight closer to financial services, sovereign wealth and critical-infrastructure customers across the GCC, and adds local engineering and SOC capacity within the UAE.

What this means for customers

• Local data residency. UAE-resident telemetry, key management and audit trails for customers under DFSA, ADGM and CBUAE regulatory regimes.
• Local response. SOC pods on UTC+4 with native Arabic / English language support and on-the-ground IR retainer.
• Closer to the regulators. Direct collaboration with DIFC, DFSA and ADGM cyber leads on shared threat intelligence and reporting frameworks.
