Business Wire
SonicWall, the trusted security partner protecting more than 1
million networks worldwide, announced today a strategic partnership
with Etisalat Digital, the business unit of Etisalat Group driving
digital transformation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and
regions where Etisalat Group operates. The collaboration is
primarily focused on delivering end-to-end digital security
solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) throughout
the UAE.
“Our mission is to help protect organizations of all sizes from
today’s onslaught of relentless cyber attacks,” said SonicWall
President and CEO Bill Conner. “Partnering with Etisalat, one of
the world’s most respected digital security leaders, ensures needed
digital security solutions and services are available for SMBs
across the UAE. With advanced threats growing in scale and
sophistication, this union couldn’t come at a better time.”
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, Etisalat Digital is now a SonicWall
SecureFirst partner that offers technology solutions to more than
300,000 SMBs in the UAE. Etisalat Digital is a business division of
the Etisalat Group that serves 140 million subscribers across 16
countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
Francisco Salcedo, Senior Vice President, Etisalat Digital,
said, “Etisalat works closely with the SMB sector to empower them
with solutions that help them transform and bring digital
innovation into their business. Security is an integral element to
assist SMBs to build advanced infrastructure that will support
their growing business requirements and challenges. Today’s
partnership will help our SMB customers build an
intelligence-driven digital defense strategy that will be
cost-effective and protect their future business objectives.”
The partnership allows Etisalat to further expand its SMB
portfolio from popular broadband and telecommunication services to
end-to-end managed services.
“Unfortunately, today’s threat actors don’t discriminate based
on company size, region, industry or revenue,” said Conner. “These
cyber criminals are strategic in finding vulnerable organizations,
including SMBs, that will yield the most return with the least
amount of expense. Fortunately, the Etisalat and SonicWall solution
is tailor-made to identify and stop such attacks.”
