Industry leaders and decision-makers gathered for the CISO 50 & FSA Gala at the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm, Dubai on September 12, where OPSWAT was named “Best Critical Infrastructure Security Vendor of the Year.” Sponsored by tahawultech.com and CPI Media Group, the CISO 50 Awards honor enterprise IT security leaders who have delivered real-world results for driving security transformation within their organizations, and the Future Security Awards seek to honor industry visionaries who have shown dedication and prowess in creating a cyber secure world.
OPSWAT's dedication to Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) has been evident globally for the last 20 years, and for the past five in the UAE through its active support of the UAE's national cybersecurity strategy. As a key player in the industry, OPSWAT is a leader in safeguarding critical assets, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, and driving significant customer growth in essential sectors - most notably in banking and government in the region. This commitment has made OPSWAT a driving force behind the UAE’s cyber resilience.
Protecting critical infrastructure can be complex for many reasons, including complex networks, insufficient technologies designed to protect both IT and OT environments, and a shortage of trained professionals who understand the intricacies of these environments and how to protect them. OPSWAT distinguishes itself by providing a purpose-built MetaDefender platform, complete with patented zero-trust technology including Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR), Proactive Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Multiscanning, country of origin detection, file-based vulnerability assessment, file type verification, and adaptive threat intelligence – all integrated into OPSWAT’s comprehensive IT and Operational Technology (OT) solutions. From enabling secure data transfers with NetWall to securing email-borne threats with its MetaDefender Email Security, and everything in between, OPSWAT is trusted as a leading CIP cybersecurity vendor by more than 1,500 global organizations.
Addressing the critical issue of a skills gap in the cybersecurity industry, OPSWAT also extends its support through OPSWAT Academy, a resource aimed at bridging the knowledge deficit many organizations face in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape.
OPSWAT's exceptional impact on the GCC's critical infrastructure sector growth is a testament to the company's industry leadership position as a trusted solution provider for both public and private sectors.
