About SpiderSilk
SpiderSilk is a Dubai-based cybersecurity company that helps organisations discover weaknesses in their internet-facing systems before attackers do. Its focus is attack surface management: finding and monitoring every server, application, database and cloud service that an organisation exposes to the internet.
Large organisations often do not know everything they have online. Old test servers, forgotten subdomains, misconfigured cloud storage and systems set up by individual teams can sit unnoticed for years. Each of these can become an entry point for attackers or a source of data leaks.
SpiderSilk's platform scans the internet to build a map of an organisation's digital assets, including those the security team may not be aware of. It then checks these assets for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and exposed data, and alerts the organisation to issues that need fixing. Continuous monitoring means new risks can be spotted as they appear.
The company's research team has become known for uncovering significant data exposures at organisations around the world, including publicly accessible databases and misconfigured systems. Responsible disclosure of these findings has raised the company's profile in the security community.
Attack surface management complements traditional security tools. Firewalls and endpoint protection defend known systems, while attack surface tools find the unknown ones. Together they give organisations a more complete picture of their risk.
SpiderSilk serves enterprises, financial institutions, government entities and other organisations with large digital footprints, in the UAE and internationally.
The company has raised venture funding to develop its technology and expand its client base.
The UAE is one of the most digitised countries in the region and a frequent target for cyberattacks. The UAE Cybersecurity Council and regulators have emphasised the need for organisations to improve visibility over their systems and data.
Globally, the growth of cloud computing and remote work has expanded organisations' attack surfaces, increasing demand for tools that provide an outside-in view of risk.
SpiderSilk's discovery-first approach to security has made it one of the better-known cybersecurity startups from Dubai, and Startups UAE profiles it in that category.
