Abu Dhabi: Two Abu Dhabi-based organisations signed partnership agreements with Kaspersky Lab, a security solutions provider company in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Abu Dhabi Racing extended its partnership with the security company for a second year to boost motorsport opportunities and enhance IT security awareness while Injazat data systems signed a fresh agreement to enhance cyber security in the region.
As per the agreement, Injazat and Kaspersky Lab will share expertise in various cyber security related domains and jointly pursue business opportunities in the UAE and other parts of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Ebrahim Mohammad Lari, chief executive officer of Injazat data systems, said cyber security is a critical concern. “Today, all the services are based on cloud and mobility. Without a proper secure system, [the] entire infrastructure is vulnerable. Security is very important.”
He said the agreement with Kaspersky Lab signifies a major step in this regard. “Kaspersky Lab will be a vital ally in helping us deliver security solutions, raise public awareness on cyber threats and effectively defend our organisation against intrusions and attacks.”
Injazat data systems, which is 100 per cent owned by Mubadala, the investment arm of Abu Dhabi government, offers safe and secure IT services to its customers. It has government departments and private enterprises as its clients. The company is planning to expand into the GCC and is set to open an office in Qatar next month.
Kaspersky Lab, with its holding company registered in the United Kingdom, currently operates in more than 200 countries providing protection for over 300 million users worldwide.
Abu Dhabi Racing is working on a number of initiatives designed to bolster the Emirate’s presence in global motorsport.
