CPX is an Abu Dhabi-headquartered cybersecurity company and a subsidiary of G42. Its website organizes more than 50 services into Advise (strategy, governance and risk, compliance, security testing), Protect (architecture, identity, data, application and network security) and Operate (managed detection and response, incident response, threat intelligence and managed security operations).
The company also develops its own products, including the Resonance exposure management platform that came with its 2025 acquisition of AI cyber firm spiderSilk. It reports a workforce of 600+ professionals and more than 200 government and enterprise clients, and positions itself around sovereign national cyber capability in the UAE.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Acquired spiderSilk in 2025 to add the Resonance exposure management platform and autonomous SOC agents, and ships a range of own products alongside services.
Operate pillar covers MDR, incident response, threat intelligence and managed security operations for government and enterprise clients, giving a single sovereign operator for UAE entities.
Backed by G42 after its late-2024 acquisition, with a reported Microsoft partnership for public-sector cyber defense and 200+ government and enterprise clients claimed on its site.
Combines consulting, products and a managed SOC; this is a broad integrated provider rather than a structurally new model of delivering managed detection.
Vendor claims 100K+ end users protected and cites a UAE Cyber Security Council testimonial; no independent detection or response test results found.
Sovereign, AI-assisted national-scale cyber operations are likely to stay in demand across Gulf governments and critical infrastructure.
Why CISOs Should Care
A CISO in the Gulf gets a locally owned operator able to run SOC, incident response and compliance work (such as UAE regulatory frameworks) under one contract with in-country delivery.
What Makes It Different
Pairs a large managed operations arm with owned products and sovereign, G42-backed positioning rather than reselling a third-party stack alone.
The Matrix Verdict
68/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
CPX scores as an Incremental Innovator: strong market momentum and relevance from G42 backing and government work, but the model is an integrated services-plus-products provider and independent efficacy evidence is limited.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Headcount, client counts and protection figures are company-published. Founding year (2022), G42 acquisition and spiderSilk deal come from press coverage; no independent efficacy tests were found.
