Forcepoint has formed an alliance with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to open a new data centre in Dubai to continue expanding its Data-first SASE platform services in the Middle East.
Forcepoint’s Data-first SASE approach to cloud-delivered security and connectivity focuses on protecting data everywhere. Organisations worldwide can simplify their transition from legacy point security products to cloud-delivered security by embracing SASE platforms such as Forcepoint ONE.
The new Forcepoint UAE data centre will play a pivotal role in providing access to scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud services to accelerate the region’s digital transformation and advance intelligent cloud adoption of businesses. The expansion reinforces Forcepoint’s commitment to helping advance digital transformation and security in the region, in line with the UAE’s National Cybersecurity Strategy.
As AWS launched in the UAE last year, the team is committed to deploying the most advanced cloud technologies and achieving the highest level of security, in line with the ‘UAE Digital Economy Strategy’ which seeks to double the contribution of the digital economy to the UAE’s gross domestic product (GDP) from 9.7 per cent as of April 2022 to 19.4 per cent within 10 years. It also seeks to enhance the position of the UAE as a hub for digital economy in the region and globally.
AWS uses advanced technology infrastructure, which enhances cloud capabilities and propels businesses such as Forcepoint to enhance digital transformation in the region, continuing to contribute to sustainable economic diversification and development.
