kinetic8, the Agentic Cyber Asset Intelligence platform from Bahrain-based entrovy, has won a WITSA Global AI Award 2026 in the Use Cases category. The award was presented at the WITSA Global AI Summit 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, following entrovy's nomination by BTECH, the Bahrain Technology Companies Society.

We are proud to share that kinetic8 has won a WITSA Global AI Award 2026 in the Use Cases category. The award was presented at the WITSA Global AI Summit 2026, held in Taipei, Taiwan, on 1–2 September, before an audience of international technology leaders, policymakers, and government officials.

The recognition is a milestone for kinetic8 and for entrovy, the Bahraini AI company behind it — and it comes just weeks after kinetic8 became generally available to enterprise customers worldwide.

About the WITSA Global AI Awards

The World Innovation, Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA) is a global consortium of national information and communications technology associations. Its annual Global AI Summit brings together decision-makers from government, industry, academia, and civil society to discuss AI trends, policy, investment, and adoption.

The WITSA Global AI Awards, presented at the summit, recognize AI champions across areas including infrastructure, talent, entrepreneurship, data, public policy, investment, and use cases. The Use Cases category recognizes AI applied to real-world problems — in kinetic8's case, giving organizations a clear, explainable picture of their cyber assets and the risks attached to them.

Nominated by BTECH

entrovy's entry was nominated by BTECH, the Bahrain Technology Companies Society. BTECH is the national association representing Bahrain's information and communications technology sector, and a member of the global WITSA network.

We are grateful to BTECH for the nomination, and for the work it does to represent Bahrain's technology companies on the international stage.

Why kinetic8 Was Recognized

kinetic8 gives IT and cybersecurity teams unified, continuously updated visibility of every digital asset and tool across their organization. It correlates data from 180+ integrations spanning cloud, identity, endpoint, and network sources into a single asset record, detects security exposures, and helps teams prioritize how to reduce risk to their systems.

  • Business-context criticality inferred from identity exposure, data sensitivity, and blast radius
  • Explainable risk scoring that traces every score back to its underlying signals
  • Security hygiene scoring that shows where posture and controls drift over time
  • AI-built integrations generated from OpenAPI specifications in minutes
  • Deployment as SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, or fully air-gapped

Accepting the Award

Mahmood Aladraj, co-founder of entrovy, accepted the award at the ceremony in Taipei.

“This win represents international recognition of what emerging technology companies from Bahrain can offer the world,” said Aladraj, who also thanked BTECH for its nomination and its continued representation of Bahrain's technology sector internationally.

What Comes Next

The award is a recognition of where kinetic8 is today, not an end point. The platform continues to expand, with ongoing work on detecting the paths a breach could take through an environment, identifying which protective controls are actually effective, and automating vulnerability remediation.

Thank you to WITSA, to BTECH, and to the customers and early access partners whose feedback shaped kinetic8. We look forward to building on this recognition with the security teams who rely on the platform every day.
