At VaxLabs, we are on a mission to bridge the gap between theoretical cybersecurity education and real-world, hands-on experience. Founded by Mohamed Nofal and Ameen Siddiqui, VaxLabs was born out of a shared frustration with the lack of practical training in the cybersecurity field. Both co-founders experienced firsthand how traditional academic programs fell short in preparing students for real-world cybersecurity challenges.

During GITEX Technology Week, we had the incredible opportunity to pitch our vision to H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government, who shared our enthusiasm for this much-needed platform. His support reinforced our drive to build a solution that would not only educate but empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals in the UAE.
