Bulwark And Holm Security Partner To Establish Enhanced System And Network Security Across The Middle East

Organizations in the Middle East will be able to better protect themselves against business-crippling cyber hacks that cost the region millions of dollars every year, thanks to a new partnership between Bulwark Distribution FZCO and Holm Security.

The cost of cyber security incidents within the Middle East has reached a new high of $6.93 million US dollars per data breach, according to IBM’s "Cost of a Data Breach Report 2022." This figure is significantly higher than the cost per incident, which is $4.24 million U.S. dollars. To overcome the ever-growing threat landscape, the partnership between Bulwark and Holm Security will offer enhanced system & network vulnerability scanning to customers across Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
