OPSWAT and TCC Partner to Strengthen Saudi Cybersecurity

OPSWAT, a global critical infrastructure protection (CIP) solutions company, based in Tampa, Florida, has announced a strategic partnership with Technology Control Company (TCC), a renowned Saudi firm specializing in security services, digital solutions, and big data.

As part of this collaboration, TCC will implement and market OPSWAT’s unified MetaDefender platform, addressing key challenges in malware detection, secure access, and data sanitization. The partnership aims to deliver scalable and comprehensive solutions to safeguard Saudi Arabia’s essential IT and OT environments, catering to the increasing demand for secure digital infrastructure across the Kingdom’s energy, finance, and government sectors.

The alliance aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which prioritizes cybersecurity as a cornerstone of digital transformation and economic diversification. The Saudi cybersecurity market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%, reaching SAR 15 billion by 2025. However, the industry faces a significant shortage of skilled professionals, with an estimated gap of 500,000 cybersecurity experts across the Middle East.

Through this partnership, OPSWAT and TCC aim to bridge this skills gap by offering advanced cybersecurity solutions alongside educational initiatives via OPSWAT Academy. These efforts are designed to upskill local professionals and reduce dependency on highly specialized in-house expertise.

“The demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions in Saudi Arabia has surged throughout 2023 and 2024, driven by the Kingdom’s ambitious digital transformation initiatives,” said Amjad Quteifan, Regional Sales Director at OPSWAT. “Through our partnership with TCC, we are uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive security solutions that protect critical infrastructure, empowering Saudi organizations to innovate and scale securely in support of Saudi Vision 2030.”

Since 2008, TCC has been a trusted provider of advanced security solutions across Saudi Arabia. Mr. Mohammed AlMarri, General Manager of Cybersecurity Services at TCC, emphasized the importance of the partnership:
“With the growing convergence of IT and OT environments, the demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions is at an all-time high. At TCC, we leverage decades of expertise to deliver tailored cybersecurity services that protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data. Through our partnership with OPSWAT, we enhance our ability to provide scalable solutions, empowering organizations to navigate the evolving threat landscape and safeguard their most valuable assets with confidence.”

OPSWAT reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives by empowering businesses to overcome cybersecurity challenges and fortify critical infrastructure. Together, OPSWAT and TCC are set to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s digital backbone, ensuring a secure and scalable digital future.
