Security Testing Company in Dubai

Dubai is the Middle East's largest software market, with a growing concentration of fintech, proptech, and travel-tech startups operating under VARA and DFSA regulation. Buyers are typically founders, CTOs, and product leaders at funded UAE startups, family offices launching software ventures, and regional product teams of multinationals. Hashorn works as your security testing company for teams in Dubai and across the United Arab Emirates. Threat modelling, code review, API and cloud security testing built into the same sprint that ships features.

UTC+4 gives Dubai full overlap with India (1.5-hour difference), a half-day overlap with the UK and Europe, and an early-morning overlap with the US east coast.
