CyberMeshX: Unifying Security Architecture for AI-First Era
The relentless march of digital transformation has simultaneously expanded the attack surface and fragmented the tools used to defend it. Today, organisations face increasingly complex and decentralised environments, and the need for a unified security foundation has never been more urgent.
LinkShadow’s CyberMeshX Platform is built to simplify modern defence by bringing identity, data, and network visibility together into a single, connected security layer. The unified platform provides clearer insights, faster detection, and stronger, adaptive protection. The platform aims to remove complexity, connect every part of the security ecosystem, and deliver a more intelligent, coordinated response to today’s threats.
Fadi Sharaf, Chief Revenue Officer, LinkShadow, said: “AI is no longer an enhancement; it is the core of modern cyber resilience. With CyberMeshX, we have created a unified security foundation that is simple, intelligent, and built to help organisations stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats.”
Architecting Resilience with CSMA
Foreword
Inside CyberMeshX: A Future-Proof Security Architecture Approach
Modern enterprises are navigating an environment where threats evolve faster than traditional security layers can respond. Fragmented tools create blind spots, slow down investigations, and increase operational overhead. A unified architecture is now essential — not optional — for businesses seeking clarity, speed, and resilience across their digital ecosystems.
Welcome to Black Hat MEA 2025. This year marks a turning point where organisations must shift from isolated defence components to a cohesive, integrated security model.
LinkShadow’s CyberMeshX Platform is built on our AI-driven Cyber Mesh Architecture, unifying identity, data, and network defence into one intelligent layer. The result is complete
visibility, stronger contextual intelligenc,e and predictive defence capabilities that scale with modern business demands.
We believe true security comes from connecting every component clearly, intelligently, and instantly. This is why we are proud to introduce MeshConnectX, the breakthrough that enables immediate, zero-code integration across the enterprise.
TRUE SECURITY COMES FROM CONNECTING EVERY COMPONENT CLEARLY, INTELLIGENTLY, AND INSTANTLY.
The LinkShadow Journey
The Journey to CyberMeshX
Founded in 2015, LinkShadow began with a vision centred on proactive threat intelligence and Network Detection and Response (NDR). Recognising the limitations of reactive security models, the company invested heavily in AI analytics and modular cybersecurity. By 2023, the brand expanded beyond NDR to incorporate Identity Threat Detection
Milestones That Matter
2015: Founding vision with a focus on real-time Network Detection
2023: Strategic expansion with DSPM
2024: Major milestone with the introduction of ITDR
and Response (ITDR) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), paving the way for the CyberMeshX Platform. Today, through CyberMeshX and the transformative MeshConnectX module, LinkShadow maintains a global presence across the Middle East, Europe, and North America— delivering the future of unified defence.

Product Deep Dive
Inside CyberMeshX: A Future-Proof Security Architecture Approach
The battle against sophisticated threats and disjointed security systems ends here. CyberMeshX is more than a SIEM or XDR platform — it is a holistic security ecosystem transforming raw signals into a coherent security narrative.
“Security teams spend long hours managing complex integrations requiring heavy coding. MeshConnectX removes that burden and allows teams to connect any tool or technology within CyberMeshX instantly”, said Fadi Sharaf.
Built on Gartner’s Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA): CyberMeshX ensures security policies are consistently distributed and enforced across cloud, endpoints, and identity layers.
Unified Visibility and Action:
Identity, Data, and Network signals converge into a single investigation plane, enabling analysts to view the entire attack storyline—from credential compromise to data exfiltration.
CYBERMESHX TURNS FRAGMENTATION INTO COHESION, EMPOWERING ENTERPRISES TO EVOLVE AT THE SPEED OF THREATS. WITH MESHCONNECTX, THE END OF SECURITY SILOS IS TRULY HERE.
MeshConnectX for Seamless Integration:
MeshConnectX makes complex integrations effortless. It is the zero-code gateway to immediate, enterprise-wide resilience.
AI-Driven Contextual Intelligence:
Every detection is backed by Explainable AI, presenting clear rationale, mapped evidence and MITRE-aligned context. False positives fall dramatically, restoring confidence across security teams.
Thought Leadership
AI Shapes into New Cyber Command Centre
Artificial intelligence is no longer a peripheral feature; it is the central nervous system of modern security operations. Defenders must rely on AI to automate detection, prediction, and adaptive response as adversaries weaponise AI to automate attacks.
Within CyberMeshX, AI progresses far beyond anomaly detection
as it acts like an autonomous orchestration layer, continuously learning and adapting. By correlating Identity, Data and Network signals, LinkShadow’s AI reduces bias, minimises noise, and drastically cuts investigation time. Analysts are freed from tactical firefighting and empowered to focus on strategic defence.
This is LinkShadow’s leadership in AI-native cybersecurity.
Empowering Digital Future: LinkShadow Catalyses Cyber
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sets ambitious goals for digital transformation, making cybersecurity a national priority. LinkShadow is fully committed to supporting this vision.
CyberMeshX is engineered to align with the stringent requirements of the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) and ensure data sovereignty across critical sectors. LinkShadow is developing local partnerships, R&D collaborations, and talentdevelopment initiatives tailored to the Kingdom’s needs.

Case 1: Telecom — 60% Faster Threat Detection
A major telecom provider transformed its operations by leveraging multi-tool Security Signals, advanced Incident Prioritisation, and AI/ML threat detection models. By unifying data streams, the organisation achieved 60% faster threat detection, reduced noise, and strengthened its resilience.
Case 2: BFSI — 40% Reduction in Alert Fatigue
A leading BFSI enterprise consolidated alerts and correlated Data and Network Security events to achieve a 40% reduction
in alert fatigue. Analysts shifted their focus to high-risk threats, vastly improving response effectiveness.
Case 3: Government — Unified Visibility Across Hybrid Clouds
A government agency deployed CyberMeshX across onpremise and multi-cloud environments. By unifying Identity, Data, and Network layers, the agency achieved comprehensive visibility, streamlined investigations, and significantly enhanced governance.
