Ahmed Mohie Eddin Sayed, Regional Manager MENA Region, Secure Networks • Interview

Can you give us a background to your current projects and specialization within the cybersecurity sphere?

We are living in an information age where data is the new currency. As the world explores new digital frontiers, the importance of data security is growing exponentially. Digital transformation is helping to make the world a better place, though cyber attacks are an unfortunate part of this reality. Today, one of the critical factors of success to any modern business, large or small, depends on the effectiveness of its data security systems. This has created massive and ever-expanding opportunities for those that can offer much-needed protection against possible cyber attacks. Secure Networks is one of the largest growing information security firms, offering a wide range of next-generation security services and solutions. Our reputation and professional approach have propelled us into the spotlight in recent years and made us a strategic partner to governments and critical entities in the Middle East. With a head office in California and regional offices in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the UK, and Egypt, we help regional and global businesses with innovative cybersecurity solutions.

What key services do you provide?

Secure Networks provides end-to-end security solutions and services. We cover the three main pillars for information security: process, technology, and people. Within technology, you can think of identity and (privileged) access management, advanced threat protection, and many other next-generation security solutions. As part of our services portfolio, we can also provide full managed security service, design a full cybersecurity strategy including all policies and procedures, perform maturity assessment and health checks, advanced penetration testing, security awareness programs, and compliance implementation according to all the relevant international standards.
