Oman Data Park (ODP), the Sultanate’s leading managed services and cloud provider, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky. This strategic collaboration aims to significantly strengthen cybersecurity resilience for organizations across Oman by combining ODP’s local expertise with Kaspersky’s global threat intelligence.
A Strategic Alliance for Cyber Defense
The MoU establishes a formal framework for technical collaboration between the two entities. This includes the exchange of vital technical information, sharing of knowledge on emerging threats, and developing a coordinated response protocol for cybersecurity incidents. As cyberattacks grow in sophistication, this partnership is designed to ensure faster threat detection, more accurate analysis, and proactive protection measures for businesses and government institutions in the Sultanate.
Bolstering the National Cybersecurity Culture
Beyond technical cooperation, the agreement places a strong emphasis on human capital and awareness. The partnership will roll out executive training programs, customer education initiatives, and broader outreach activities. These initiatives are designed to equip decision-makers, employees, and end-users with the knowledge needed to recognize and respond to modern cyber risks, fostering a more robust cybersecurity culture throughout Oman’s public and private sectors.
Driving Oman’s Digital Transformation
This collaboration is a key step in securing Oman’s ongoing digital transformation. “Cybersecurity is a cornerstone of Oman’s digital transformation journey,” said Eng. Maqbool Al Wahabi, CEO of Oman Data Park. “By partnering with Kaspersky, we are combining our local expertise with their global threat intelligence to deliver stronger, more reliable protection for businesses and government entities in the Sultanate.
