Abu Dhabi-based cyber and physical security solutions provider, CPX Holding, has announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft to enhance cybersecurity for governments in the age of artificial intelligence. The collaboration aims to merge Microsoft’s advanced security operations platform with CPX’s deep expertise in cyber defence, strengthening security and operational efficiency for public sector organisations globally.
A New Benchmark for Public Sector Security
The partnership addresses the significant pressure on public institutions to protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data from increasingly complex cyber threats. By integrating Microsoft’s security suite—including Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, and Microsoft Security Exposure Management—with generative AI, the collaboration will deliver a unified security portal.
This powerful combination will be leveraged by CPX’s experience in operating nationwide Security Operations Centers (SOCs), enabling institutions to predict, prevent, and respond to threats in real-time. This initiative aligns with the broader mission of G42 and Microsoft to promote the secure and responsible deployment of AI.
From National Success to Global Ambition
This collaboration marks a significant step in CPX’s global expansion strategy. Building on its track record of delivering milestone national projects, the company now aims to scale its achievements on a global stage through its “Securing Nations” program.
“This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for us to redefine cybersecurity through the transformative power of generative AI. Together with Microsoft, we are establishing a new benchmark for digital security and operational excellence in the public sector,” said Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX. “Building on the success of milestone projects delivered nationally, we now look to scale these achievements globally.”
Enabling Secure Digital Transformation
The core objective of the partnership is to empower governments to pursue AI-driven digital transformation initiatives with confidence. By providing top-tier technology and expertise, CPX and Microsoft are working to create secure and modern digital environments, ensuring the integrity of government operations and data is maintained amidst rapid technological change.
“Together, we are building a future where governments can confidently embrace digital transformation, secure in the knowledge that their operations and data are protected by the very best in technology and expertise,” commented Mark Chaban, Corporate Vice President, EMEA Customer and Partner Solutions at Microsoft.
