Dubai Silicon Oasis provides end-to-end security for tenants with Trend Micro

The solution has been described as one of the most comprehensive security systems yet developed for the government sector in the Middle East.

Using high-level Trend Micro technology, the new security system will protect IT systems within DSO's offices and properties and extend this protection to tenants and affiliate companies operating within the park.

By deploying Trend Micro's advanced Network VirusWall application, DSO will even be able to provide protection on the network, so that subsidiaries of international companies operating within the technology park will be able to exchange information with their offices around the world with a high level of security.

Given DSO's role in working as an incubator for new microelectronics research and development, and SemiConductor Industry such high level defence mechanisms offers peace-of-mind for companies looking to develop new patents and advanced processes, keeping them secure from potential virus infections and malicious hacking.

"Dubai Silicon Oasis aims to provide an advanced, secure environment for our tenants and affiliate companies, so the completion of our security system with this high-level network security solution is a significant step," said Dr. Jürgen Knorr, CEO of Dubai Silicon Oasis.

"Our role as a strategic link between business partners around the world is strengthened by ensuring that viruses, malicious software, and hackers are unable to pollute the Oasis," Dr. Knorr added.

By offering a web-based management console, the solution will be able to track, trap and disable viruses online, before they even enter DSO's network. This will help partner companies to improve their operational resilience by mitigating security risks, easing the virus outbreak management burden, and reducing system downtime.

"Our technology is guarding the frontline of some of the most inspiring projects in the Middle East, and we're delighted to add Dubai Silicon Oasis to the community of companies who are safer with Trend Micro," said Justin Doo, managing director of Trend Micro Middle East and Africa.

"Dubai Silicon Oasis's progressive technology strategy is one of the major attractions for existing and potential tenants, and the investment in advanced security will help support the right environment for research and exploration," concluded Doo.

Beta Information Technology, the system integrator for Trend Micro and premium partner, played a pivotal role in securing the agreement with Dubai Silicon Oasis.
