CyberHive and Meerana Partner to Strengthen UAE’s Cybersecurity Framework

CyberHive, a UK-headquartered global cybersecurity company with a regional head office in Dubai, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UAE-based technology company Meerana. This strategic partnership aims to drive technological innovation and enhance cybersecurity measures to ensure a more secure digital future for organizations worldwide.

The agreement was formalized during the recent Dubai Business Forum in London, an invitation-only event sponsored by Dubai Chambers. With a focus on trade, finance, and technology, the forum brought together business leaders and investors to strengthen ties between the UK and Dubai while exploring collaborative opportunities across diverse sectors.

Headquartered in Dubai, Meerana specializes in developing innovative smart solutions that transform business planning and operations. By combining expert consultation, tailored products, and advanced managed services, Meerana delivers transformative technologies and industry best practices, providing exceptional value to its clients and partners.

The need for advanced cybersecurity solutions in the UAE is underscored by the UAE Cyber Security Council’s State of the UAE – Cybersecurity Report 2024, which highlights that the country is home to over 155,000 vulnerable assets, with more than 40% of the top vulnerabilities being over five years old. CyberHive’s cutting-edge cybersecurity tools offer organizations across industries a robust defense against ever-evolving online threats.

Ben Locke, GCC Distributor at CyberHive, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership:

“My colleagues and I are thrilled to have entered into this strategic relationship. Having firmly established itself as a leader in smart solutions, Meerana is ideally positioned to leverage CyberHive’s comprehensive suite of threat protection modules to provide enhanced security to organizations across the UAE and beyond.

By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and adaptive strategies, we aim to provide robust and future-ready security frameworks for businesses and government entities across the UAE.”
