In conversation with Sam Khan, CEO, AccuSights

AccuSights chose this moment to launch because the UAE is experiencing a sharp rise in cyber threats alongside increasingly stringent compliance requirements. And facts tell the story quite clearly: in 2024, ransomware attacks in the UAE surged by 32% year-on-year. Yet many businesses still treat compliance as a once-off exercise or scramble only when an audit approaches.
The invisible yet critical gap between rising threats and limited readiness highlighted an urgent need for a fully automated, AI-driven, continuous compliance platform. This encouraged AccuSights to create a robust cybersecurity platform, one that transforms compliance from a reactive, audit-driven activity into a proactive, always-on defence mechanism.
The launch positions AccuSights as a game-changing, end-to-end UAE cybersecurity and continuous compliance solution built specifically for regulated and high-risk sectors. Unlike traditional consulting-heavy, manual, or siloed compliance approaches, AccuSights replaces spreadsheets and fragmented tools with a unified, AI-driven platform that offers continuous visibility, automation, and real-time understanding of cyber posture. With a focus on“Security Through Compliance,” the platform can detect hundreds of metrics in a few seconds, providing crisp and accurate compliance reports, helping organisations with quick turnaround solutions.
At the recent GITEX Global 2025, AccuSights aimed to narrate its vision, introducing its platform to regulated industries and directly engaging with decision-makers across sectors such as finance, healthcare, energy, government, telecom, and others. The participation successfully enabled the leadership team, including CEO Sam Khan and Principal Partner Mark L. Madrid, to connect with businesses from all major regulated industries. The engagement demonstrated strong demand for a unified, automated solution, positioning AccuSights as a needed enabler in the UAE’s cyber ecosystem.
This initiative is a core reflection of AccuSights’ mission to support the UAE’s push toward becoming the world’s most cyber-resilient nation.
We believe regulated industries and small to mid-sized businesses have always been the lowest-hanging fruit, the hacker’s favourite target. Since they form the backbone of our economy, they deserve cybersecurity and protection, as good as any other large-scale firm.
By offering 1,000 SMEs complimentary cybersecurity assessments, gap analyses, and maturity roadmaps, the company aims to help smaller organizations understand their risks, simplify regulatory expectations, and begin measurable improvement.
The interaction with Dr Mohammed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government at GITEX, truly reinforced AccuSights’ alignment with the national vision of embedding cybersecurity into daily life and organisational culture.
His quote during the interview, “Cybersecurity culture needs to be an integral part of our lifestyles. It’s in our kids’ way of living nowadays,” echoed the very foundation of AccuSights’ mission to make continuous compliance a proactive first line of defence.
This validated the platform’s purpose and strengthened the company’s commitment to supporting the UAE’s ambition to become the world’s leading cyber-resilient nation.
