CLOUDFLARE TO DISCUSS ZERO TRUST ACCELERATION AT GISEC

Cloudflare announced its participation at Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC) Global 2023 taking place between 14-16 March at Dubai World Trade Centre. The company will use the event as a platform to educate regional enterprises and organisations about protecting, consolidating and optimising their corporate networks, their IT and internet presence, without the cost and complexity of managing legacy network hardware.

Speaking about the company’s participation at GISEC, Bashar Bashaireh, Managing Director of Middle East & Turkey at Cloudflare says, “Over the past few years, ransomware, data breaches, and other cyberattacks have been hugely disruptive and cost businesses and public agencies huge amounts of money, in addition to loss of reputation and market trust. In response, as organisations embrace digital transformation and move their operations to the cloud, they should be looking to an integrated service – offering security, performance, reliability and privacy as the key pillars of a successful digital transformation strategy. The first and most critical part of this transformation is to build trust within an enterprise’s ecosystem – customers, partners, stakeholders. And for this an organisation needs to have a robust and integrated security solution in place.”

“As a company that is leading innovation, we are excited to be present at GISEC, to partner with enterprises in the region on their network transformation journey. Corporate networking has become overly complicated. Network and IT teams that used to maintain “castle-and-moat” architectures are now responsible for much more: managing legacy WAN connectivity (such as MPLS), establishing secure remote access, and stringing together disparate networking hardware on-premise to satisfy security, performance, and reliability needs. With Cloudflare, enterprises can replace a patchwork of appliances and expensive legacy circuits with a single global platform that provides built-in, software defined Zero Trust functionality, DDoS mitigation, firewall services, and traffic acceleration.”
