The UAE has strengthened its cyberdefense capabilities through a new partnership between Abu Dhabi-based PureCS and Dell Technologies. Government entities and private companies in the UAE will now have access to advanced cybersecurity services, including Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) technologies.
These services will help organizations detect cyber threats earlier, respond to attacks more quickly, and protect sensitive information from potential breaches. Dell Technologies will utilize PureCS's Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Abu Dhabi to deliver these cybersecurity services nationwide. As more services and businesses transition to digital platforms, the partnership aims to protect essential systems and sensitive data.
Rashed Humaid Al Neyadi, PureCS's Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the growing importance of cybersecurity as the UAE accelerates its digital transformation. Walid Yehia, Dell Technologies UAE Managing Director, highlighted that the agreement would provide organizations with stronger protection against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, leveraging PureCS's local expertise and infrastructure.
The cybersecurity market in the Middle East is projected to grow from $18.56 billion in 2026 to $29.39 billion by 2031, driven by the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and digital technologies.
