Mobily has signed a memorandum of understanding with Palo Alto Networks with the aim of evaluating and subsequently developing future security offerings to be made available to Mobily’s customers. Any offerings brought to market according to this memorandum would be based on the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform.
By combining network, cloud and endpoint security with advanced threat intelligence in a natively integrated security platform, Palo Alto Networks safely enables applications and delivers highly automated, preventive protection against cyberthreats, at all stages in the attack lifecycle, without compromising performance.
Mobily already offers a range of services from its cyber security and cloud wallet, which includes secure internet access, email protection, and anti-DDoS service. Commenting on this memorandum, Mobily’s CBO Eng. Ismail Al-Ghamdi said, “Mobily is stressing its leadership in the space of managed and cloud cyber security offerings, and we have plans to bring innovative solutions for the various sectors in the country, such as the Government, financial, health, energy and small and medium business sectors.”
“We are pleased to be collaborating with Mobily, aiming to bring next-generation information security capabilities to Mobily’s customers in Saudi Arabia. Providing access to advanced breach protection, in a way that enables our joint customers to manage both their risk and their security budgets, significantly contributes towards the strengthening of the defenses that protect digital lifestyles and support future growth,” adds Alix Leconte, EMEA vice president of Palo Alto Networks service provider business.
