Cybersecurity company Forcepoint has teamed up with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to open a new data center in Dubai to continue expanding its Data-first SASE platform services in the Middle East.
The new Forcepoint UAE data center will play a pivotal role in providing access to scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud services to accelerate the region’s digital transformation and advance intelligent cloud adoption of businesses.
As AWS launched in the UAE last year, it is deploying the most advanced cloud technologies and achieving the highest level of security, in line with the ‘UAE Digital Economy Strategy’ which seeks to double the contribution of the digital economy to the UAE’s gross domestic product (GDP) from 9.7 percent as of April 2022 to 19.4 percent within 10 years. It also seeks to enhance the position of the UAE as a hub for the digital economy in the region and globally.
