Razi Hamada, General Manager – Digital Transformation, Al-Futtaim Engineering & Technologies, said: “We are glad to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Redinent. The new proposed package of Managed Security-Services will enable the organisations we work with to accurately assess the security postures of their cameras so that they are not vulnerable to cyberattacks and insider threats. It can be easily deployed in critical infrastructure places like Airports, Metro Stations, Power Grids, Banks, etc where the risk and impact of cyber-attacks are very high.”
