Ooredoo and Tech Mahindra Forge Strategic Partnership to Enhance Cybersecurity Services
In a significant move to bolster its cybersecurity offerings, Ooredoo, Qatar’s leading telecommunications operator and ICT provider, has announced a strategic partnership with Tech Mahindra, a global leader in technology consulting and digital solutions. This collaboration aims to enhance the Managed Security Services (MSS) provided to Ooredoo’s B2B customers, marking a pivotal step in the company’s commitment to delivering state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions.
A Milestone Partnership
The partnership was officially unveiled during a ceremony attended by senior executives from both organizations, including Thani Ali Al Malki, Chief Business Officer at Ooredoo Qatar, and Atul Soneja, Chief Operating Officer at Tech Mahindra. Ram Ramachandran, Senior Vice President for India, Middle East, and Africa Business at Tech Mahindra, also graced the event. This collaboration is particularly noteworthy as Tech Mahindra took over Ooredoo’s Managed Security Services platform in April 2024, and the initial results have already demonstrated significant success in addressing the cybersecurity needs of business customers in Qatar.
Commitment to Cybersecurity Excellence
Thani Ali Al Malki emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “Our partnership with Tech Mahindra is a testament to our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive, cutting-edge security solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses in Qatar.” This collaboration aims to enhance the security and resilience of Ooredoo’s B2B customers by leveraging Tech Mahindra’s global experience and expertise in advanced cybersecurity services.
In an era where digital threats are increasingly sophisticated, Ooredoo recognizes the necessity of safeguarding its customers’ digital assets. The partnership with Tech Mahindra is a strategic initiative designed to address these pressing security needs across the IMEA (India, Middle East, and Africa) markets. Ram Ramachandran remarked, “Through our combined efforts, we focus on leveraging our global expertise to ensure that customers’ security needs are met, and a new benchmark is set for security services across the region.”
Tech Mahindra’s Expertise
With over 20 years of experience serving Fortune 500 clients, Tech Mahindra brings a wealth of knowledge and an extensive portfolio of services to the table. Their offerings include Security Operations Center (SOC) management, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Cloud Security, and advanced solutions like Endpoint Security, Zero Trust Platforms, and Threat Intelligence. This breadth of expertise positions Tech Mahindra as a formidable partner for Ooredoo, enabling them to provide comprehensive security solutions that are both robust and scalable.
Addressing the Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape
The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and so are the threats that accompany it. Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue; it’s a critical business concern that can impact an organization’s reputation and bottom line. By partnering with Tech Mahindra, Ooredoo aims to stay ahead of these challenges, ensuring that its B2B customers are equipped with the latest security technologies and strategies to protect their operations.
The collaboration will not only enhance Ooredoo’s existing security services but also pave the way for innovative solutions that can adapt to the changing threat landscape. This proactive approach is essential for businesses looking to safeguard their digital assets and maintain customer trust in an increasingly interconnected world.
Conclusion
The strategic partnership between Ooredoo and Tech Mahindra represents a significant advancement in the realm of cybersecurity services in Qatar. By combining Ooredoo’s local market knowledge with Tech Mahindra’s global expertise, the two companies are poised to set new standards for security services in the region. As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of the digital age, this collaboration will play a crucial role in ensuring their security and resilience against emerging threats. Together, Ooredoo and Tech Mahindra are not just responding to the current cybersecurity landscape; they are shaping its future.
