Aruba, an HPe company, has appointed Rabih Itani to lead its Security business development across the region to advance its much needed 360 Secure Fabric solutions and propositions in Middle East and Turkey.
Osama AlHaj-Issa, Regional Channel Director, Middle East, Mediterranean and Africa region at Aruba says, “In his previous role at Aruba, Rabih has achieved great success in growing the Telco business in very challenging market conditions. While with his previous employer, he has had the distinction of spearheading the first deployment of many network security solutions in the region. Rabih possesses the perfect blend of deep technical knowledge of intelligent edge security solutions combined with a sharp business mindset and I believe he will be instrumental in driving our security business to new and greater heights as he helps regional organizations combat a sophisticated cyber threat landscape”.
“I am excited to lead Aruba’s security business in the region amidst the major challenges organizations are facing in controlling their networks and the users and devices that connect to them. Organizations in the Middle East see Aruba as a vendor that not only can provide the speeds and feeds of a LAN or a WLAN infrastructure, but also deliver a true intelligent network edge – an edge that is secured 360 degrees,” says Rabih Itani, Regional Business Development Manager – Security, Middle East and Turkey at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company.
Aruba’s focus in the upcoming year will be to accelerate and extend its reach to organizations in need of the company’s 360 Secure Fabric by fine tuning the capabilities of Aruba’s strong channel partners and increasing market awareness of its security solutions. In parallel, as vendor partnerships and alliances are critical in the security space, Aruba will be aligning its go to market strategy with its technology alliance partners to bring together best-of-breed solutions to customers and provide an end-to-end security proposition.
Rabih joined Aruba in early 2012 as system engineering manager for the Telco sector across Middle East and Turkey and rose to manage the business in 2015. During this period, Rabih successfully engaged with leading telecommunication providers and positioned Aruba as a leader across the region in providing next generation seamless and secure public Wi-Fi hotspot services.
