The Middle East experienced the fastest growth in internet users of all regions in 2015[1] and Enterprises in the MENA region continue to invest in digital channels to engage with this expanding audience. As a result they are constantly growing their digital footprint; be it on the web, through the development of mobile applications or through social media. This has significantly increased their digital attack surface and therefore their exposure to cyber threats. In addition to defending their own digital assets, they also have to deal with the growing problem of cyber impersonation, whether it be domain infringement, web and mobile phishing or executive and brand impersonation on social media. RiskIQ Digital Footprint and External Threats solutions help organisations tackle both problems.

“Demand for Cyber Security services is clearly on the rise in this part of the world,” said Naji Chakhtoura, COO at DataComm360 Inc. “While there are a lot of competing technologies in the market, RiskIQ plays in a blue ocean on its own, addressing the challenges of Cyber Security in the growing digital world. We are excited about our partnership with RiskIQ and the value we are bringing to our reseller network and through them, to customers in the MENA region.”

"There has never been a more pressing time for organisations to focus on External Threats, as much as they do on perimeter security,” said Trevor Crompton, RiskIQ’s EMEA Channel Director. “Bringing visibility and management to the external attack surface is core to RiskIQ''s solution and we are delighted to be able to extend this to organisations across the Middle East and North Africa, working with Datacomm360. I am very pleased to able to harness Datacomm360''s seasoned expertise and knowledge of this diverse market - and excited about what we can achieve together."
