Under the agreement, DarkMatter will integrate Guidance Software
products, including EnCase Endpoint Security, EnCase Endpoint
Investigator, and EnForce Risk Manager, into its comprehensive
cyber security solutions for clients across the Middle East. Guidance solutions will help
DarkMatter clients find, assess, respond to, and remediate hidden
cyber threats within their networks.
With the exponential growth in data and the ever-increasing cost
of a breach, organisations across the Middle East, and the world, are looking for
complete cyber security solutions. As cyber-attacks become more
advanced, security teams are shifting focus beyond traditional
perimeter protection technologies to focus on rapid detection and
response. Gartner estimates that by 2020, 60 per cent of security
budgets will be focused on detection and response, an increase from
less than 10 per cent two years
ago.[1]
Commenting on the partnership, Rabih
Dabboussi, DarkMatter's Senior Vice President of Sales,
Marketing and Business Development said, "Forensic
cyber security tools are being demanded by our
clients with increasing regularity as a result
of the rising sophistication of cyber threats. This
collaboration with Guidance Software will add to our mission to
provide planning, detection, protection and recovery
capabilities to digital environments in order to
offer a heightened level of cyber security
resilience to digital transformation."
Rabih Dabboussi continued,
"Partnerships with leading global technology
providers is part of DarkMatter's go-to-market
strategy, and we look forward to our clients enjoying the added
active cyber security defence posture ushered
in through our cooperation with Guidance
Software."
Forensic security solutions from Guidance deliver unrivalled
360-degree visibility into endpoints, unmatched data collection,
and automated incident response and remediation capabilities. The
agreement announced today will help DarkMatter deliver the best
possible solutions for its customers and support Guidance's
development in the region.
"At Guidance, we are strengthening our capabilities

Rafik Hajem. "Scaling our business and providing
