The CORE966 ecosystem

One core. Eight units. One security posture.

Each business unit can engage independently — but every engagement draws on the same data foundation, the same research pipeline, and the same cybersecurity discipline. Select a module to jump to it.

Who we are

A technology group, not a service list.

CORE966 was built around a simple observation: the organizations that keep Saudi Arabia and the region running — utilities, railways, ports, industrial operators, financial institutions, government — need technology partners who understand engineering, not just advisory language.

Rather than presenting one undifferentiated list of services, CORE966 operates as a group of eight business units, each with its own mission, products and specialists, connected by shared data, shared research and one security posture.

The name carries that identity forward: 966 is Saudi Arabia's international calling code — a quiet signal of where CORE966 is rooted, without limiting where it operates.

Mission

CORE966 combines cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data, engineering and research to solve complex technology challenges and create commercially valuable solutions for enterprises and critical infrastructure.

Business unit — M1

CORE966 CYBER

Cybersecurity engineered for modern enterprises and operational environments.
01

CORE966 CYBER covers both IT and OT security — from governance and architecture through to hands-on testing and monitoring. The unit's particular strength is in industrial and critical environments, where downtime is not an inconvenience but an operational risk.

Engagements range from a single risk assessment to ongoing security operations, built around a consistent architecture rather than point solutions.

Business unit — M2

CORE966 AI

Artificial intelligence engineered for real-world business and critical environments.
02

CORE966 AI is built around applied outcomes rather than generic strategy work: models that inspect infrastructure, detect anomalies, and support decisions under real operational constraints — not proofs of concept that stop at a slide deck.

Every model shipped by this unit inherits CORE966's security posture — AI systems are designed, tested and governed with the same discipline applied to any critical system.

Business unit — M3

CORE966 DATA

Turning complex data into operational intelligence.
03

Every other unit depends on data being available, trusted and governed. CORE966 DATA builds the platforms and pipelines that make that possible — from raw ingestion to executive-ready analytics.

This is the connective layer of the ecosystem: it feeds CYBER's monitoring, AI's models, and CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE's digital twins from a single governed foundation.

CORE966 CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Securing and intelligentizing the infrastructure society depends on.
04

This unit sits at the convergence of cybersecurity, AI, data, OT and engineering — applied to the systems where a technology failure has physical, not just financial, consequences.

It is where CORE966's other capabilities are proven under the most demanding conditions: signaling systems, SCADA environments, energy networks, and water infrastructure.

CORE966 TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING

Independent technology expertise for complex transformation.
05

The advisory and engineering arm of CORE966 — brought in where organizations need independent judgment on architecture, vendors, or transformation programs, informed by the technical depth of the wider group rather than generic frameworks.

CORE966 LAB

Experiment. Prototype. Validate. Transform.
06

CORE966 LAB is the group's innovation studio — a space for rapid experimentation, distinct from consulting delivery. It is the bridge between research and commercial products: where an idea is stress-tested before it becomes a platform.

Operating model

Engage at any stage.

CORE966 is structured so a client relationship can begin anywhere in this chain — a single assessment, a prototype, or full operations — and move forward from there.

Client challenge
Consulting

Operations
Continuous improvement

This is a major differentiator: most clients don't need every stage of this chain at once, and CORE966 is built to meet them wherever they are in it.

Saudi Arabia

Built in Saudi Arabia. Designed for global impact.

CORE966 is Saudi-rooted but internationally oriented — built by teams who understand the Kingdom's technology ambitions and the operational realities of its critical infrastructure, while holding itself to international engineering and cybersecurity standards.

That positioning shapes how the company grows: local capability development, applied research, and a security posture built for organizations that operate at national scale.
