DUBAI, UAE, April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
DarkMatter, an international cyber security firm headquartered
in the United Arab Emirates (UAE),
today announced it is entering a partnership arrangement with
Symantec Corporation, (NASDAQ:SYMC), a global leader in information
protection and security software, to provide security solutions and
services to help customers navigate the complex world of threats
and cyber-crime.
DarkMatter will enable customers to leverage business
opportunities, reduce costs and improve productivity through the
combination of its industry expertise and Symantec's security
technologies. Organisations will benefit from a comprehensive
portfolio of unified cyber security services, including
consultation, in the areas of Information & Threat Protection;
Governance, Risk and Compliance; and Threat Intelligence &
Cyber Security.
DarkMatter and Symantec's relationship will provide customers in
the UAE with unique, simplified, anytime, anywhere services.
Furthermore, the newly developed partner portfolio will educate
organisations allowing them to adhere to today's multiple cyber
industry regulatory and compliance laws - crucial to mitigate
against today's ever-evolving threat landscape.
Commenting on the agreement, DarkMatter Chief Executive Officer,
Faisal Al Bannai said, "DarkMatter
and Symantec are collaborating to empower businesses and government
agencies with strategic solutions that will help them transform
their operations to reduce risk, cost, complexity as well as
overcome compliance challenges."
Faisal Al Bannai continued,
"DarkMatter has a compelling portfolio of cyber security solutions
and we are enthusiastic about combining these with Symantec's
leading technologies to better protect information in today's
connected world."
Michael A. Brown, Symantec
President and CEO said, "This relationship with DarkMatter will
deliver local enterprises an unmatched combination of technology,
intelligence and expertise. In addition, DarkMatter's solution and
domain expertise complements Symantec's know-how in offering
customised technology solutions to end-users."
With cyber attacks on the rise in the Middle East and across the world, DarkMatter
and Symantec's relationship reflects an important initiative that
helps organisations gain insight into threats and respond
effectively to reduce their impact.
Cyber security is a fabric that is woven by threads of people,
processes and technology. Today, security breaches increasingly
occur due to the lack of understanding by individuals when applying
secure solutions to protect business assets and critical
information, or worse, when leaving equipment and work devices
exposed to cyber threats.
DarkMatter is staffed by tier one international cyber experts
who develop, manage and deploy the most innovative technologies,
adhering to the company's Cyber Security Life-Cycle, which
incorporates a four-stage approach involving planning, detection,
protection and recovery, and reinforces its secure business
solutions.
