HELP AG AND WATERFALL SECURITY SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO BOLSTER INDUSTRIAL CYBERSECURITY IN THE UAE
Help AG , the cybersecurity arm of e & enterprise ( formerly known as Etisalat Digital ) and the region ’ s trusted security advisor , has partnered with Waterfall Security Solutions , a global leader in industrial cybersecurity . With the partnership , Help AG will assist industrial clients in the UAE to securely connect their IT and OT environments for safe and optimal performance .
Many industrial organisations – such as those in the manufacturing , utilities , facilities , and rail industries – today are looking to integrate IT into their production facilities for smarter operations . This brings the importance of industrial cybersecurity to the forefront , as a successful attack on an OT system can have catastrophic consequences that range from halting operations to endangering physical safety .
Help AG ’ s industrial clients will benefit from Waterfall ’ s Unidirectional Security Gateways and related products to tackle the security challenges involved in IT-OT convergence , as well as Waterfall ’ s long experience in helping organisations to integrate IT and OT environments safely and securely . Additionally , the company ’ s suite of unidirectional offerings facilitates integrations with other technologies and services offered by Help AG partners , enabling the delivery of true end-to-end solutions rather than point products .
Stephan Berner , Chief Executive Officer , Help AG , said : “ One of our key focus areas is helping our clients in the industrial sector to safely integrate their IT and OT systems . For this reason , we are very pleased to partner with Waterfall Security Solutions , a leader in the field of ICS / SCADA cybersecurity . Waterfall ’ s Unidirectional Gateway technology meets the security needs of modern industrial organisations , and our UAE clients now have full access to their patented solutions .”
Our partnership with Help AG is driven by a shared commitment to secure vital industrial networks in the UAE .
Lior Frenkel , CEO and Co-Founder , Waterfall Security Solutions , said : “ Our partnership with Help AG is driven by a shared commitment to secure vital industrial networks in the UAE . Help AG ’ s deep technical expertise , as well as strong relationships with critical infrastructure utilities , industrial enterprises and other technology providers , will enable Waterfall to contribute more effectively to integrated and comprehensive industrial security programmes .”
Waterfall provides a family of products based on their flagship Unidirectional Security Gateways . The gateways provide industrial control systems with absolute protection from targeted and other attacks from external networks , as well as secure enterprise-wide visibility and safe remote access for OT systems . The gateways enable safe IT / OT integration , without the threats to physical operations that firewalls always introduce . •
