Naoris to rollout its cybersecurity system across IT networks in the Middle East
Dubai-headquartered IT solutions company PROW has agreed to utilise Naoris’ AI and blockchain-based platform to help secure its clients’ networks. PROW manages IT projects across a range of sectors including government, healthcare and retail. The partnership becomes Naoris’ first official
launch within the Middle East region.
Naoris and PROW have signed a partnership that will include a thorough assessment of PROW’s
framework, following implementation of Naoris’ ecosystem across PROW’s key data infrastructures.
The agreement will provide a robust system for PROW as it delivers cloud-based solutions and digital
transformations for leading tech companies. PROW’s partners include Cisco and HP.
Multiple high profile infrastructure, construction, IT and government projects in the Middle East has necessitated the requirement for robust cybersecurity networks. Analysts at International Data Corporation (IDC) predict that the cybersecurity market within the region will double over the
coming four years to $22.14bn in 2022 (up from $11.38bn in 2017) [http://www.itp.net/617541-unlocking-the-network-security-opportunity].
The current cybersecurity model means that multiple devices on the same network can provide an
entry point for hackers to gain access to the entire system — which could have huge consequences,
especially in governmental and healthcare digital arenas.
Naoris’ infinitely scalable platform, the Naoris Security Ecosystem (Naoris SE), offers near-instantaneous detection and reporting of cyber threats, facilitating a consensually approved fix action without the need to rely on a central point of failure to command changes. Results are then disseminated onto an immutable ledger, where they become accessible and independently
auditable.
The platform’s rule-bound and distributed consensus ecosystem allows fixes to occur before attacks have time to spread. Each node in the blockchain acts as an additional distributed layer of protection, which means that while traditionally networks become weaker as more devices are
connected, Naoris’ solution allows networks to become exponentially more secure and agile as they expand.
David Carvalho Founder and CEO of Naoris, commented:
“The Middle East is experiencing an ever-changing shift of data networks following its rapid advancement with digital technologies. This has led to further requirements of robust cybersecurity systems within private and public sector organisations. The blockchain provides a novel and effective
way of protecting typically hard to defend environments from cyber threats and ensuring no end-point provides a threat for the network or its data.
We are pleased that PROW has agreed to utilise our platform across its networks. As project managers and IT experts, PROW can see that we will be invaluable to its clients and offer well-guarded solutions as its networks grow larger and more complex.”
Roland Hash, Managing Director of PROW, commented:
“We are proud to sign an agreement with Naoris that will revolutionise our cybersecurity networks using the latest AI and blockchain technologies. As we expand, the need for advanced cybersecurity becomes fundamental for our solutions to clients. Naoris is the lead provider of scaleable and robust
systems that will help secure our data infrastructures across the Middle East.”
