GulfIT partners with Pentera, a provider of automated security validation to assist 1,500 customers in the GCC region to combat ransomware attacks.
Both companies will be showcasing Pentera’s automated security validation platform at GITEX 2022.
According to recent research, in 2021 the UAE saw a 71 percent increase YoY in cyber-attacks against corporate networks, on a weekly basis.
Pentera’s Automated Security Validation platform enables CISOs to validate the effectiveness of their cybersecurity by challenging their existing security controls across the entire kill-chain. The company provides continuous visibility into organizations’ security exposure and an actionable roadmap to remediation to improve security posture by emulating real-world hacking techniques.
Abdul Rahman, CEO of Gulf IT, said, “The number of successful ransomware attacks continues to rise at an unbelievable rate. Companies that fail to adapt and meet the emerging challenges will quickly fall behind. At Gulf IT we are helping customers stay one step ahead of the constantly evolving threats they are facing. We are excited to partner with Pentera and introduce their platform to validate the effectiveness of our customers’ security controls against the latest attacks and ransomware.”
Morgan Jay, SVP Sales, EMEA & APAC, Pentera, added, “Today, most companies struggle to keep track of their true security exposure across an ever-expanding threat surface. The addition of Pentera’s platform to Gulf IT’s offerings will ensure that companies across the region have access to top-of-the-line automated security validation technology. Our platform will increase confidence in existing security controls while dramatically reducing security exposure.”
