Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of Etisalat Digital, has entered into a partnership with the global leader in industrial cybersecurity Waterfall Security Solutions in order to assist industrial clients in the UAE to securely connect their IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) environments for safe and optimal performance.

According to the reports, many industrial organizations, such as those in the manufacturing, utilities, facilities, and rail industries, are looking to integrate IT into their production facilities for smarter operations.

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 organizations to integrate IT and OT environments safely and securely, the company 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 or SCADA cybersecurity. Waterfall’s Unidirectional Gateway technology meets the security needs of modern industrial organizations, and our UAE clients now have full access to their patented solutions.”

Furthermore, 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.

Mr. Lior Frenkel, CEO and Co-Founder at Waterfall Security Solutions commented that, “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 programs.”
