VIVA, Intel Cyber Defence Centre

ManamaVIVA has joined forces with Intel Security to establish Bahrain’s first world-class Cyber Defence Centre (CDC). 

The partnership signed on the sidelines of MEET ICT and BITEX 2017 will see Managed Security Services (MSS) added to VIVA’s Cloud services portfolio.

VIVA Bahrain CEO Ulaiyan Al Wetaid commented, “We are confident in Intel Security’s capabilities as a provider of cloud-first integrated security solutions and look forward to providing the best-in-class security solutions to our customers.” 

VIVA’s CDC is to be established for enterprises across all industries in the private and public sectors including banking, transportation and government, and will help to combat threats from the virtual world and prevent, control as well as analyse causes and symptoms of various forms of cyberattacks. 

 “Organisations are realising that a cyber-attack and the associated loss of trust, is as detrimental to their brand and standing with shareholders as loss of actual revenue,” said Tarek Jundi, Managing Director, Middle East & Turkey, Intel Security.
