US tech firm inks deal to set up security center in Saudi Arabia

US-based Paladion Technologies Inc. signed a strategic agreement with Saudi-headquartered Sejel Technologies to establish an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven security operations center in the Kingdom.

The center will deliver Managed Detection and Response (MDR), an advanced managed security service that provides threat intelligence, threat hunting, security monitoring, incident analysis, auto containment, and incident response.

“Today, it takes companies in the Middle East over 200 days to detect a data breach. Through our partnership with Paladion, we can reduce the detection time to minutes,” Ahmed Al-Ghamri, CEO at Sejel, said.

“With this partnership, Paladion plans to nurture local talent and groom Saudi youth into future cybersecurity leaders, and contribute to Vision 2030,” Amit Roy, EVP and Regional Head MEA, from Paladion added.
