Spire Solutions and Group-IB have partnered to bolster Middle East\u2019s cyber environment. Group-IB, a solution provider devoted to detecting and preventing cyberattacks<\/a>, identifying online fraud, investigating high-tech crimes, and protecting intellectual property, has struck a collaboration agreement with Spire Solutions.

To aid the region’s fight against cybercrime, Group-IB opened its regional headquarters and MEA Threat Intelligence & Research Center earlier this year. Group-IB’s aim to continue increasing its market reach in the Middle East and GCC region is exemplified by the distribution deal with Spire Solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
