Secure Computing Corporation, a leading developer of specialized solutions that secure the connections between people, applications and networks, has recently opened its new office in Dubai, at the Dubai Internet City. The Dubai office will serve as the company’s regional headquarters in the Middle East.
The opening of the new office comes close on the heels of Secure Computing’s merger with CyberGuard, a global provider of security solutions that protect the critical components of the largest and most complex information networks for Global 2000 enterprises and government organizations.
“The Middle East is one of the focus markets of Secure Computing, and the opening of the new office is in keeping with our strategy to step up efforts to fully tap the potential for enterprise security solutions in the region,” said Sami Mulla, Director, Middle East, Secure Computing. “Having a significant physical presence in the UAE, one of the fastest growing markets, will allow us to meet regional market requirements more efficiently and in close proximity. The Dubai office will serve as the nerve centre for all our Middle East operations.”
“Balancing security and accessibility has emerged as one of the key challenges facing enterprises in the Middle East, and Secure Computing, with its portfolio of specialized solutions, is uniquely positioned to address this issue. Our products provide the highest level of security, enabling customers to create trusted environments both inside and outside their organization. Moreover, Secure Computing boasts a proven track record, with more than 20 years of industry experience and more than 17,000 customers worldwide,” Mulla added.
