Spire Solutions, a cybersecurity solution provider and value-added distributor in the Middle East and Africa, and CPX Holding, a UAE-based provider of digital-first cybersecurity solutions and services, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate in assisting organizations along their digital transformation journeys.
Khaled Al Melhi, CEO of CPX, and Sanjeev Walia, Founder and President of Spire Solutions, as well as other senior members of both companies, signed the memorandum at an event in Abu Dhabi.
Khaled Al Melhi, CEO of CPX, said: “As governments and businesses race to maintain their competitive advantage by adopting new technologies, they are also being exposed to more sophisticated cyber threats. Together with our strategic partners, we must look to augmenting security policies with always-on protection to instill trust for our clients but also for the wider cybersecurity ecosystem.”
The memorandum comes at a time when cyber-attacks in the region are becoming more frequent and costly for organizations. In the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa region, 45% of organizations recently surveyed by IDC said they are now embedding security into the planning, initiation, and assessment phases of all new business initiatives.
“The UAE’s National Cybersecurity Strategy (NCSS) envisions the creation of a safe and resilient cyber infrastructure that enables citizens to fulfil their aspirations and empowers businesses to thrive. We are honored to partner with CPX, a leading enabler of achieving this national vision, by offering our resources in the field of cybersecurity strategies and frameworks, introducing solutions from leading technology partners, and helping build capacity,” said Sanjeev Walia, Founder and President of Spire Solutions.
In this environment, CPX and Spire Solutions will examine the next wave of technologies that can help organizations accelerate their digital transformation journeys. This will include developing new strategies that governments and businesses can use to protect their mission-critical assets while also contributing to regional best practices. Such efforts will ultimately assist organizations in unlocking business value and driving growth while maintaining peace of mind.
