ecurity has shot up the priority list of CIOs from large enterprises and governments as the world continues to witness the effects of countless breaches on top entities.

The growth of targeted attacks has been documented in the global press, but the severity is possibly understated. Last year, the former US defence secretary, Leon Panetta, said that a “cyber Pearl Harbour” could one day take place. Others have since stated that cyber warfare is as much a priority as physical acts of terrorism. So serious is the risk that many government bodies are now recruiting the services of dedicated cyber-
security officers to keep a full-time eye on assets. In the UAE, SecureTech has taken a lead and positioned itself as a leading system integrator to help governments protect themselves from these threats. It is one of the largest companies in the UAE, 100 percent locally owned, and considered a leading systems integrator providing diversified solutions in the physical security and ICT domains.
