The importance of cyber security and data protection was highlighted in a key event organised by Hilal Computers in partnership with Forcepoint GCC.
“A company’s journey along the road of digital transformation is not complete if it leaves itself open to cyber attacks,” said Shijas Mohidheen, cyber security director at Hilal Computers, an IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation that delivers real results to global businesses.
During the event, Mr Mohidheen led the discussion on Forcepoint One as the protector of choice from cyberattacks and how Forcepoint has simplified security.
Forcepoint One is an all-in-one cloud-native security platform for protecting cloud and private apps. It gives users easy access to the apps a customer needs, without exposing the rest of the network to unwanted threats. Forcepoint One enforces consistent threat protection and DLP across cloud and private apps, to prevent malware and preserve sensitive data.
Forcepoint confirmed the importance of data protection, especially with the new trends of how businesses operate, with remote workers, BYOD, and cloud adoption.
As Bahrain is considered a leader in the region when it comes to cloud adoption, this put more pressure on the companies to secure their data, network, and applications.
“Forcepoint One provides an all-in-one, total solution for a secure web gateway, giving Cloud Access Secure Broker base ensuring zero trust network access for private web apps,” said Mr Mohidheen.
According to Mr Mohidheen, companies must be aware that the speed in which the Metaverse is evolving is driven in part by increasing interconnectivity and smart automation which brings with it several challenges. This continuous reliance on technology puts both individuals and corporations at risk, from which the need for cyber security stems.
“Forcepoint is one of the best of many cyber security solutions offered by Hilal Computers. We are passionate about cyber protection and take the trusted role placed on us by our customers seriously. Therefore, each customer’s requirements need to be carefully evaluated for continuous updating of their security protection,” he added.
