Kaspersky Partners with MCS to Expand B2B Cybersecurity Distribution Across Middle East and Africa
Kaspersky has entered into a strategic partnership with Mideast Communication Systems (MCS) to enhance its B2B distribution network across the Middle East and Africa (MEA). The announcement was made during the Future of Digital Countries Summit in Egypt, marking a significant step in Kaspersky's efforts to broaden its cybersecurity footprint in the region.
As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, the demand for robust cybersecurity solutions continues to rise. Kaspersky's B2B portfolio, which includes advanced endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyber defense solutions, is designed to meet the diverse needs of organizations across various industries. By partnering with MCS, Kaspersky will leverage the distributor's extensive channel expertise and established partner network to expand the reach and adoption of its cybersecurity offerings, thereby enhancing resilience across Egypt and the broader MEA region.
Toufic Derbass, Managing Director for Middle East, Turkey, and Africa at Kaspersky, remarked, “This partnership with MCS Holding is a strategic move to strengthen our presence in Egypt and the META region. By combining our advanced cybersecurity solutions with MCS's deep regional knowledge, we aim to better serve businesses, helping them navigate and mitigate the growing complexities of cybersecurity challenges.”
Ali Azzam, Vice President at Mideast Communication Systems, added, “As digital transformation accelerates in Egypt and across the region, businesses require security solutions that not only defend against current threats but also anticipate future risks. Our collaboration with Kaspersky equips organizations with cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies, fortifying their defenses and ensuring their operational resilience. Together, we aim to raise the region’s cybersecurity standards and improve threat mitigation strategies.”
This partnership between Kaspersky and MCS is poised to further bolster the region’s defense against emerging cybersecurity threats, ensuring that businesses are well-equipped to protect their assets in an increasingly digital world. Both companies also plan to collaborate on raising awareness and promoting best practices in cybersecurity, helping to build a more resilient and secure digital ecosystem.
