- Kaspersky and Oman Data Park sign MoU to boost cybersecurity in Oman
- The agreement covers technical collaboration, executive training and outreach
- Partnership enhances cybersecurity culture, setting a regional example in digital resilience
The agreement brings together Kaspersky’s global expertise and Oman Data Park’s local leadership in managed services and cloud infrastructure, establishing a framework for technical collaboration, incident response coordination, and executive-level training for Omani organisations.
The partnership aims to address the escalating complexity and frequency of cyber threats targeting businesses and government institutions. Not only will it foster the exchange of critical threat intelligence and best practices, but it also rolls out customer education and outreach programmes — supporting both technical teams and end-users in adopting stronger security practices to defend against sophisticated cyberattacks.
According to Kaspersky’s Middle East General Manager, Rashed Al-Momani, this strategic alliance will deliver advanced protection to critical sectors and contribute significantly to Oman’s evolving cybersecurity ecosystem. He said: “Through this collaboration with Oman Data Park, we are bringing our global expertise closer to customers in Oman, enabling stronger protection for critical sectors and contributing to the country’s cybersecurity ecosystem.”
Eng. Maqbool Al Wahabi, CEO of Oman Data Park, added: “Cybersecurity is a cornerstone of Oman’s digital transformation journey. By partnering with Kaspersky, we are combining our local expertise with their global threat intelligence to deliver stronger, more reliable protection for businesses and government entities in the Sultanate. This cooperation reflects our commitment to providing secure, world-class cloud and managed services to our customers.”
For the Middle East’s security sector, this alliance exemplifies proactive, cross-border cooperation and could set the benchmark for industry-led initiatives to reinforce cyber risk defences across a rapidly digitising region.
