LogRhythm Exabeam And Tuwaiq Academy Partner To Expand Cybersecurity Talent Across Saudi Arabia

LogRhythm | Exabeam has partnered with Tuwaiq Academy, the Kingdom's first academy focused on advanced technology bootcamps and courses, to expand cybersecurity skills, professional certifications, and talent development across Saudi Arabia, aligning with the Human Capability Development Program under Saudi Vision 2030.

Announced during the Tuwaiq Tech Club Ceremony, the collaboration introduces specialised cybersecurity certifications, training programmes, and bootcamps for students at nine major Saudi universities, including King Saud University and University of Jeddah, targeting more than 40,000 learners nationwide through a mix of academic and practical training.

Under the agreement, LogRhythm | Exabeam will supply training content, instructors, and exam vouchers, while Tuwaiq Academy will manage programme execution, marketing, and training facilities. The initiative is designed to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s cybersecurity workforce and support the wider digital transformation agenda.

"Our partnership with Tuwaiq Academy is a vital step in supporting Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity ecosystem and the upcoming goals of Saudi Vision 2030," said Mazen Adnan Dohaji, Senior Vice President and General Manager, LogRhythm | Exabeam, highlighting the increasing threat landscape and the importance of skilled human oversight.

LogRhythm | Exabeam said the initiative reinforces its commitment to Saudi Arabia, following the launch of a dedicated Google Cloud region in the Kingdom, the opening of a regional office in Riyadh, and strong local business performance, with revenue rising by 21% from 2024 to 2025.

"Saudi Arabia is continuing to focus investment efforts on the skills, innovation, and infrastructure needed to become a global digital leader," said Sultan Alanazi, Country Director, KSA, LogRhythm | Exabeam, describing the partnership as a milestone in deepening the company’s regional engagement and enhancing local cybersecurity capability.

Tuwaiq Academy will become the first authorised LogRhythm | Exabeam training centre in the Middle East for professional certifications. Selected candidates from the academy will be trained and certified as LogRhythm | Exabeam instructors, supporting local training capacity, long-term skills transfer, and potential employment pathways via the partner network.

"Empowering national talent with advanced technical capabilities is essential to Saudi Arabia's digital future and at the center of everything we do," said Abdulaziz Alhammadi, CEO of Tuwaiq Academy. He noted that the partnership links industry-recognised knowledge with practical experience and clearer routes into high-value cybersecurity careers.

Tuwaiq Academy works with more than 60 global technology companies, including Meta, Google, NVIDIA, Amazon, and Huawei. Since its establishment, it has graduated over 35,000 students, with more than 80 percent of bootcamp graduates employed within three months through the Tuwaiq Employment Program.
