Pakistan’s fastest-growing cybersecurity company is making international headlines with the launch of its Threat Exposure Management (TEM) platform—the first AI-powered vulnerability assessment and infrastructure hardening solution developed in Pakistan.
CyberSilo, founded in 2022, has already established credibility across Asia, GCC, Europe, and Africa with its flagship ThreatHawk SIEM platform. Now, the company is tackling one of cybersecurity’s most persistent challenges: continuous vulnerability management and infrastructure hardening with machine learning-based remediation guidelines.
The Problem: Operating Blind
“Most organizations discover they’ve been hacked at least 100 days after the initial breach,” explains Zohair Mustaqeem, CEO and Founder of CyberSilo. “By the time they realize what happened, attackers have already exfiltrated data, installed ransomware, or established persistent access.”
The statistics are alarming. In 2025, 54% of breaches began with exploitation of a known vulnerability that had a patch available but was not applied—highlighting a critical gap between vulnerability discovery and remediation.
“Attackers are now using AI tools to identify vulnerabilities and infrastructure details of potential targets. They exploit vulnerabilities the moment they’re discovered,” Zohair emphasizes. “Organizations need real-time visibility and automated remediation, not quarterly reports.”
The Solution: AI Meets Automation
CyberSilo’s Threat Exposure Management platform delivers two integrated capabilities:
1. Automated Vulnerability Assessment with ML-Based Remediation
The platform continuously scans endpoints, network devices, databases, firewalls, and cloud infrastructure—identifying vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. The system includes machine learning-based remediation guidelines that provide context-aware steps tailored to each organization’s specific infrastructure.
The platform includes SLA-based tracking for compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001) and deploys both on-premises and in the cloud.
2. CIS Benchmark Hardening
Infrastructure misconfigurations represent one of the most critical—yet often overlooked—security risks. The numbers are sobering:
- Gartner predicts that by 2025, 99% of infrastructure failures will be due to customer misconfigurations or errors
- Misconfigurations are consistently ranked in the top three causes of breaches, responsible for 15% of incidents in 2024
CyberSilo’s hardening module automatically assesses systems against Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks, identifies deviations, provides automated remediation scripts, and monitors for configuration drift across on-premises infrastructure.
“Configuration drift is silent but deadly,” Zohair notes. “A server might start to be compliant, but over time—through updates, changes, or human error—security configurations weaken. We catch that drift in real-time and alert teams before it becomes a breach.”
Aligned with Pakistan’s Indigenization Vision and Global Strategy
CyberSilo’s Threat Exposure Management platform represents a milestone in Pakistan’s technology independence. The solution aligns with the Ministry of IT and Telecom’s (MOITT) Indigenous Product Vision—a strategic initiative promoting domestically developed cybersecurity solutions to reduce reliance on foreign technologies.
“This isn’t just a commercial product launch,” Mustaqeem explains. “It’s a strategic contribution to Pakistan’s cybersecurity sovereignty. By developing indigenous solutions, we’re strengthening national security while creating high-value technology jobs and demonstrating Pakistan’s capabilities on the global stage.”
The platform’s dual alignment—supporting Pakistan’s national policy while meeting international standards—positions CyberSilo as a key enabler of Pakistan’s digital transformation. The company demonstrates that Pakistani enterprises can develop world-class cybersecurity solutions that serve both national interests and compete effectively in global markets.

Vulnerability assessment and infrastructure hardening tools are mandatory requirements under multiple national and international compliance frameworks. CyberSilo’s platform addresses these obligations comprehensively:”Organizations often struggle to map their security tools to compliance requirements,” Mustaqeem notes. “Our platform is specifically designed to address vulnerability management and hardening mandates across all major frameworks—from Pakistan’s National Cyber Security Policy to international standards like ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS.”
This comprehensive compliance coverage makes the platform particularly valuable for organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions or sectors—from Pakistani government agencies adhering to NCSP 2021 to financial institutions meeting PCI-DSS requirements to healthcare providers complying with HIPAA.
Building on Global Success
CyberSilo’s credibility stems from proven international traction with ThreatHawk SIEM and SOAR—processing over 15 million security events daily for customers across multiple continents.
The company also operates ThreatSearch, a free threat intelligence platform accessible to security professionals worldwide.
“Threat intelligence shouldn’t be locked behind expensive licenses,” Zohair explains. ThreatSearch gives anyone access to real-time threat data. It’s our way of giving back to the security community.
Complete Cybersecurity Ecosystem:
CyberSilo now offers an integrated suite:
- ThreatHawk SIEM and SOAR: Real-time threat detection and automated response
- ThreatSearch TIP: Free threat intelligence for all
- Threat Exposure Management: AI-powered vulnerability assessment and hardening
This ecosystem enables organizations to detect threats, understand adversaries, and reduce attack surface—all from one provider.
Built in Pakistan, Competing Globally
“We’re not building for the Pakistani market with hopes of going international someday,” Mustaqeem emphasizes. “We’re building global products that happen to be made in Pakistan.”
CyberSilo competes with established players like Tenable, Qualys, and Rapid7—offering enterprise capabilities that meet international standards while supporting Pakistan’s strategic technology goals.
What’s Next: SOCion AI Platform – Generative AI Revolution
CyberSilo is aggressively developing a SOC AI tool powered by generative AI—designed to autonomously detect and respond to attacks, including zero-day exploits.
“Current security tools detect known threats using signatures,” Mustaqeem reveals. “Our SOC AI will use generative AI to understand attack behavior at a fundamental level—detecting and responding to zero-day attacks that have never been seen before.”
The SOC AI will analyze attack patterns, generate threat hypotheses autonomously, detect novel techniques without predefined signatures, and automate complex investigations at machine speed.
“We’re moving from reactive security to predictive and autonomous security,” Mustaqeem explains. “The SOC AI will think like a security analyst, hunt like a threat hunter, and respond like an incident responder—but at machine speed.”
Pakistan’s Tech Renaissance
CyberSilo’s trajectory—from founding in 2022 to international recognition—signals a shift in Pakistan’s tech ecosystem.
“Three years ago, ‘Pakistani Cybersecurity Product’’ was an oxymoron,” Mustaqeem reflects. Today, we’re building world-class products, serving international customers, and innovating at the frontiers of AI and cybersecurity. CyberSilo is proof that talent, innovation, and global ambition exist here—we just need to back ourselves.
The company’s success strengthens Pakistan’s national cybersecurity capabilities while creating high-skilled jobs and demonstrating technological competitiveness globally.
