Muscat, Oman
Ooredoo is set to raise the bar for network security in Oman by providing protection against DDoS attacks. The system will tighten network security for Ooredoo Internet Enterprise corporate customers and maintain a strong defense against cyber threats.
This new security will enhance Ooredoo's 24/7 network surveillance and provide customers with access to Ooredoo's IT security professionals as well as a secure chest that allows identified threats to be monitored. Using advanced technology, the DDoS Managed Security shield is also equipped with early detection and elimination capabilities.
"We live in a world where companies need watertight security systems to protect their business interests from malicious threats. With the rise of internet attacks, it is essential for our corporate customers to have the very best security on the market. Network attacks can result in significant loss of revenue and downtime," said AbdulAziz Jaffar, Director of IT & Information Systems Management at Ooredoo. "Our upgraded system is the answer to those threats, keeping the corporate information of our clients safe and sound."
Ooredoo continues to provide clients with service of the highest quality by delivering the latest technology through safe and dependable networks. The enhanced system will use Ooredoo's technological expertise to lock corporate data in a vault and neutralise threats to corporate security. Ooredoo's network security system ensures that all traffic is clean and secure.
