Qatar's big telecom, Ooredoo, just partnered with the AI cybersecurity firm Darktrace to offer smarter business security services. The deal was signed by the company's Chief Business Officer, Thani Ali I A Al-Malki, and a Darktrace regional director. This gives Ooredoo's business clients access to Darktrace's ActiveAI Security Platform, which uses self learning AI to spot both known and novel threats.
The platform works by continuously analyzing a company's specific digital environment to detect issues. It includes features for real-time threat identification, an automated response system, and an AI agent for investigating incidents. An Ooredoo executive said this upgrade to their managed security portfolio is key for digital transformation, letting local businesses operate more securely. A Darktrace VP stated the partnership combines their AI tech with Ooredoo's regional expertise.
This move aligns with Qatar's national vision for 2030, expanding the telecom provider's portfolio with advanced, AI-driven cyber defense tools for the country's enterprises.
