"There is a developing awareness amongst UAE businesses, that the loss of millions of dirhams can be avoided by implementing the correct security solution," says Ashraf Sheet, security product manager at Alpha Data. "Our customers have complex networks that support critical information and data, and therefore, it is vital to have a strong security backbone in place to protect them from both internal and external fraud. The availability of ArcSight solutions through Alpha Data is of great interest to IT directors and security officers looking for an efficient and cost-effective platform."
As the market in the UAE matures, information management has become an important issue for organisations in the government and financial sectors. Alpha Data will now be able to provide a solution to resolve customers' requirements for network security and a fast response to both internal and external threats. The ESM solution provides businesses of all sizes with a solution that is able to simplify their existing security networks and maintain them efficiently and cost effectively.
