Oman Data Park (ODP), the sultanate’s premier provider of data centers and cloud services, has announced that it has signed a MoU with Seclore, the global leader in data-centric cybersecurity solutions. 

 

This strategic alliance is poised to address growing concerns around data privacy, security, and third-party risks, particularly as artificial intelligence gains traction in Oman, said the company in a statement. 

 

By reinforcing cybersecurity measures, this collaboration reflects ODP’s unwavering commitment to fortifying the nation’s digital infrastructure and fostering trust in a complex digital environment, it stated. 

 

On the deal, Engineer Maqbool Al Wahaibi, the CEO of Oman Data Park, said "Data protection has evolved from an operational necessity to a strategic priority, vital for safeguarding the very foundation of businesses. In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, where threats become more sophisticated and pervasive, securing sensitive information is paramount."

 

"At Oman Data Park, we recognize that adopting a data-centric security framework is critical to meeting stringent regulatory standards and enhancing long-term business resilience and operational efficiency," he stated. 

 

"Our partnership with Seclore reaffirms our dedication to setting new standards in cybersecurity and further solidifies our leadership in IT-managed services. Together, we are empowering businesses to thrive securely, ensuring they remain agile and protected in all their digital endeavours," he added.

 

Justin Endres, the Chief Revenue Officer at Seclore, said: "We are delighted to have joined hands with ODP, which has a longstanding reputation as a trusted partner in Oman’s IT industry. This collaboration highlights Seclore’s commitment to the region and reflects our dedication to supporting both our partners and their clients."

 

"The Middle East region, including Oman, presents a substantial growth opportunity for Seclore, and we are eager to harness this partnership with ODP to drive mutual success in these dynamic markets," he stated. 

 

As businesses increasingly rely on external collaborations and third-party service providers, this partnership represents a forward-looking approach to cybersecurity, enabling companies to share mission-critical data confidently while driving their growth agendas. 

 

With Seclore, ODP aims to deliver advanced data-centric security solutions that allow organizations to manage sensitive information securely across hybrid environments, he added.
