We look forward to continuing to help security and risk leaders validate their investments and gain confidence with a threat-informed defense.”
In addition to large private and public customers throughout EMEA and APJ, including Bupa, BT, and a number of Government Ministries including Finance, Energy, Health and Sovereign Investment funds, AttackIQ has seen significant growth in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region as governments in countries like The United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain look for cybersecurity solutions to protect their digital transformation initiatives.
