Vehere Appoints Gulf Software Distribution to Accelerate Market Growth Across the Region
Vehere, a new-age cyber defense software company, has engaged Gulf Software Distribution (GSD), a value-added distributor of software products, to strengthen its presence across the region. As part of the partnership, GSD will distribute Vehere's Network Detection & Response (NDR) products in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and Levant. Vehere's AI-powered NDR platform will provide regional organizations with an advanced second line of defense, empowering security teams to detect and stop attacks at their earliest stage, before they escalate into breaches. By leveraging lossless packet capture, deep packet inspection, and real-time behavioral analytics across both encrypted and unencrypted traffic, the platform delivers enhanced visibility and scalability across the network. Its modular architecture enables organizations to deploy rapid threat hunting, comprehensive forensic analysis, and one-click investigation workflows. Additionally, through intelligent integration with SIEM, EDR, XDR, SOAR, and TIP systems, Vehere's NDR accelerates mean-time-to-detection and response, automates containment of ransomware, APTs, lateral movement, and insider threats, and enriches alerts with contextual intelligence for streamlined SOC operations. With over a decade of experience in leveraging AI cyber network intelligence to support counter-terrorism efforts of nations, Vehere protects critical infrastructure for Fortune 500 companies, telecom providers, financial institutions, and smart cities worldwide. The company is actively expanding its footprint as part of its broader growth strategy in the Middle East. The collaboration with GSD marks a significant milestone in Vehere's efforts to achieve a lasting impact in the industry. The move will make the company even better positioned to deliver advanced cybersecurity and intelligence solutions to government and enterprise clients in the region, enabling it to attract more resellers and integrators while supporting demand generation. Avinash Garg, Vice President of Sales (MEA) at Vehere, said, 'This partnership represents a strategic leap in expanding our presence across the region. It enables local enterprises and government organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity posture with access to our battle-tested NDR technology — originally developed to meet the rigorous demands of top-tier defense and intelligence agencies.' Veerendra Kolla, Head of Channel Sales at GSD, said, 'Cyber threats are growing in intensity and sophistication, and middle east organizations are increasingly prioritizing greater visibility and proactive protection across their networks. We found Vehere's technology to be exceptionally well-suited to meet these demands. Its powerful threat detection capabilities and deep network insights truly impressed us — making this partnership a strategic step in delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity to the region.' The partnership comes at a time when the value of the global NDR market is projected to reach a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1% between 2024 and 2028, according to the Worldwide Network Detection and Response Forecast by International Data Corporation (IDC). The EMEA region alone is expected to see a 12.6% growth, highlighting strong regional demand. The collaboration with Vehere will unlock new opportunities for GSD's channel ecosystem to tap into the thriving NDR market.

Gulf Air set to restart flights to Baghdad, Amman
Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air is set to resume its scheduled flights to and from the Iraqi cities of Baghdad and Najaf as well as Amman in Jordan, starting from tomorrow (June 28). The airline said its flights to these cities had been recently affected owing to the regional tension. Gulf Air has been operating since 1950, making it one of the earliest airlines established in the Middle East. It operates scheduled flights from its hub at Bahrain International Airport to various destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Far East. The Bahraini flag-carrier said the rest of its flights to destinations across its network are operating as per schedule. Lauding its valued customers for their patience and understanding, Gulf Air said the recent developments in the region had led to the stalling of some of its flights to Jordan and Iraq. This decision was taken by the airline owing to its commitment to the safety and well-being of each of its passengers and crew, it added. -TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
