Purpose.

siberX is at the forefront of cybersecurity — delivering innovative solutions through cutting-edge training, awareness programs, and immersive experiences. Led by industry professionals, we combine technical expertise with creative vision to craft accessible, exciting, and impactful cybersecurity content.

With over 8 signature annual events, siberX has made a global impact across North America, Latin America, Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. Since 2018, we've become known for delivering bold, fearless experiences — from world-first cybersecurity escape rooms to gamified crisis simulations, tabletop exercises, and the flagship summits that define the Canadian cyber calendar.

We connect with every project on a personal level and deliver results that inspire and drive real change across the global cybersecurity landscape.

Founder & CEO, siberX

Mahdi Raza leads an amazing team who excel in delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity events, training experiences, and programming on a global scale. siberX has built a strong reputation for its innovative, immersive cybersecurity content, hosting notable events such as the CISO Forum, Canadian Women in Cybersecurity, and Cybersecurity Meetups.

Mahdi is also the driving force behind Cyber Gamified, offering gamified and immersive approaches to cybersecurity training — including world-first cybersecurity escape rooms and gamified competitions that simulate real-world challenges. He has expanded siberX's focus to include cyber crisis tabletop exercises (TTX), providing critical preparedness training for industries and organizations to counter evolving threats.

He is the author of "The Art of Selling Cybersecurity" and, as a professor and public speaker, is passionate about educating both the public and private sectors on the importance of cybersecurity. When he's not pioneering the future of cyber, Mahdi enjoys family life, travelling, biking, and sharing his culinary creations.

Zainab Zaidi
Director of Marketing & Operations
Zainab Zaidi
I'm deliberate about what I build, and even more about why. I believe in precision with heart, structure with soul, and creating spaces where people feel trusted, challenged, and connected. Much of what I do is about impact that lasts — beyond the event, beyond the moment. When I'm not building, you'll find me travelling, reading, gaming, or asking "How you doin'?" to really good ice cream.
