CTM360 Recognized in Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ 2026 – Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies

Bahrain’s CTM360 Named in First-Ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for CTI, Securing Historic Arab World Milestone

CTM360 has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first-ever software technology from the Arab world to be recognized among 17 globally leading companies for “Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI).” This inclusion is featured in Gartner’s highly anticipated, first-ever CTI Magic Quadrant report published on May 4, 2026.

Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research firm, uses its influential Magic Quadrant™ reports as a global industry benchmark to identify technology leaders, innovators, and future industry trends. The launch of this specific report underscores that the global CTI market’s innovation has reached a mature stage, deserving dedicated recognition of the leaders shaping its future landscape.

While the Arab region’s IT innovation history has produced numerous successful technology companies over the years, most have focused on adapting global ideas for regional markets. CTM360 has broken that mold by building novel technologies designed for global application from day one. Today, the company serves customers in more than 100 countries.

This latest inclusion represents a defining milestone for CTM360, adding to its previous international recognitions. The firm previously received Frost & Sullivan’s 2022 Innovation Leadership Award for Digital Risk Protection and was featured in Forrester’s New Wave™: Digital Risk Protection, Q3 2018.

Reflecting on the achievement, Mirza Asrar Baig, Founder and CEO of CTM360, said:

“I started this journey nearly 30 years ago with the ambition to help transform the region from consumers of technology into globally recognized producers of innovation. Alhamdulillah, after several unsuccessful attempts, CTM360, which we established over 10 years ago, has made that vision a reality. But we still have a long way to go as we continue innovating for the future threat landscape and scaling globally through AI.”

As governments and enterprises globally reinforce their security postures and seek visibility across critical national infrastructure, Cyber Threat Intelligence continues to gain strategic importance. In its evaluation, Gartner specifically highlighted CTM360’s strengths, noting that its “focus on regulated industries and national-level sector mapping reinforces differentiated value.”

Furthermore, CTM360 stands out uniquely in the report as a bootstrapped company competing fiercely alongside global, heavily funded cybersecurity giants without relying on external funding.

The company proudly operates under its core vision of “Cyber Security from Bahrain to the World.” This milestone directly reflects the Kingdom of Bahrain’s progressive leadership vision, a highly supportive innovation ecosystem, a strong local talent pool, and government-backed initiatives that have collectively paved the way for CTM360’s international success.

Looking ahead, CTM360 is gearing up to expand its international footprint further. The company will serve as a Bronze Sponsor at the upcoming FIRST Conference 2026, scheduled for June 14–19, 2026, in Denver, Colorado, USA, cementing its role as an emerging global cybersecurity innovator driving the Arab world forward.
