OPSWAT has formed a strategic partnership with Technology Control Company (TCC).
Through this partnership, TCC will implement and market OPSWAT’s unified MetaDefender platform, addressing critical challenges in malware detection, secure access and data sanitisation.
Together, OPSWAT and TCC will provide scalable, comprehensive solutions to protect Saudi Arabia’s essential IT and OT environments, addressing the growing demand for secure digital infrastructure across energy, finance and government sectors.
Vision 2030
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which emphasises the importance of cybersecurity to drive digital transformation and economic diversification, has pushed the growth of the Saudi cybersecurity market which is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%, reaching SAR 15 billion by 2025.
The industry still faces a significant shortage of cybersecurity professionals, with an estimated gap of 500,000 experts across the Middle East.
OPSWAT’s solutions, combined with its educational initiatives through OPSWAT Academy, aim to address this skills gap by upskilling local professionals and reducing dependency on highly specialised in-house expertise through the solutions provided in collaboration with TCC.
“Innovate and scale securely in support”
Amjad Quteifan, Regional Sales Director, OPSWAT stated: “The demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions in Saudi Arabia has surged throughout 2023 and 2024, driven by the Kingdom’s ambitious digital transformation initiatives.
“Through our partnership with TCC, we are uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive security solutions that protect the critical infrastructure, empowering Saudi organizations to innovate and scale securely in support of Saudi Vision 2030,” added Quteifan.
“Comprehensive, scalable solutions”
TCC has been a trusted provider of cutting-edge security solutions across Saudi Arabia since 2008.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr Mohammed AlMarri, TCC’s General Manager of Cybersecurity Services, stated: “With the growing convergence of IT and OT environments, the demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions is at an all-time high.
“At TCC, we leverage decades of expertise to deliver tailored cybersecurity services that protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data.
“Through our partnership with OPSWAT, we enhance our ability to provide comprehensive, scalable solutions that empower organisations to navigate the evolving threat landscape and safeguard their most valuable assets with confidence,” concluded AlMarri.
Future plans and overcoming challenges
OPSWAT reinforced its commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives and the overall development of the cybersecurity industry by empowering Saudi Arabian businesses to overcome cybersecurity challenges and fortify critical infrastructure.
Together, OPSWAT and TCC aim to further Saudi Arabia’s digital backbone, ensuring a secure and digitally scalable future.
