CTM360’s Win at OIC-CERT Global Cybersecurity Awards 2026 Marks Another Achievement for Bahrain

Manama, Bahrain – September 2026 –  CTM360, a Bahrain-based cybersecurity technology company, has been recognized as the 1st Runner-Up of the OIC-CERT Global Cybersecurity Award 2026 for its project: “Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Beyond IoCs’’.

The award was presented by H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government, and Eng. Badar Al Salehi, Chair of OIC-CERT and Director General of Oman National CERT, at GISEC Global 2026 in Dubai. CTM360 Founder and CEO Mirza Asrar Baig accepted it on behalf of the company.

The award recognizes CTM360’s approach to helping organizations identify digital exposure and early warning signs before they turn into high-impact security incidents.

“This recognition represents years of hard work, belief, and a shared ambition to build cybersecurity innovation from this region for the world,” said Baig.

“Cyber threat intelligence should not only tell organizations what has already happened. It should help them see what is exposed, recognize the warning signs, and act before an attack causes harm. This recognition strengthens our determination to keep pushing that vision forward.”

OIC-CERT, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation–Computer Emergency Response Team, promotes international cybersecurity cooperation and recognizes innovative projects developed by governments, businesses, international institutions, civil society, and academia. As a member of OIC-CERT, CTM360 remains committed to helping nations worldwide build stronger cyber resilience amid a rapidly evolving digital landscape driven by artificial intelligence.

The achievement adds to a significant year for CTM360. Earlier in 2026, the company was named a Niche Player in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies, which evaluated 17 global technology providers.

The latest recognition marks a proud moment for CTM360 and Bahrain, reflecting the Kingdom’s growing contribution to cybersecurity innovation on the global stage.
