July 06 2023 - 5:00PM
Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”) (NASDAQ: GRRR), a global
provider of AI-based edge video analytics, IoT technologies, and
cybersecurity, today announced that it signed a contract with the
Government of Egypt to implement a Smart Government Security
Convergence solution. The contract, worth more than $270 million
over three years, represents the largest customer win in Gorilla’s
history and a notable stride in its globalization strategy, putting
Gorilla on a path toward profitability by the end of 2024.
“We're extremely excited to execute the contract
and officially embark on what we expect to be a long-term
relationship with the Government of Egypt,” said Gorilla CEO Jay
Chandan. “This is the largest project we have ever won and,
inclusive of our recent win in Taiwan, we have now secured $300
million worth of projects this quarter. We could not be more
excited by our momentum and future. The execution of this contract
affirms our standing as a reliable global solutions provider,
particularly when the MENA region governments are actively seeking
innovative partners to support their crucial transformation from
conventional systems to digital technologies and underpins future
growth opportunities more broadly in the region and across the
globe.”
“I am thrilled with this groundbreaking
contract. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our
mission to create a secure and connected governance ecosystem,”
said Gorilla’s Chief Innovation Officer Dr Rajesh Natarajan. “By
integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI, IoT and data
analytics, we are poised to revolutionize the way governments
safeguard their critical assets. This collaboration reaffirms our
commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower
governments to proactively address emerging security challenges.
Together, we will build a resilient and future-ready security
framework, setting standards for safety and governance in the
digital age.”
The key objective of the smart government
security convergence solution is to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of security operations while enabling better
decision-making, proactive threat detection, and quick response to
emerging risks.
The system includes:
- Access Control and Identity Management: Robust
access control systems to manage and authenticate the identities of
individuals accessing critical resources in the governmental
network.
- Interagency Collaboration: Enable interagency
collaboration by enabling seamless information sharing and
communication among government entities via email, document
sharing, voice, and video conferencing.
- Cybersecurity Measures: Strong cybersecurity
measures integrated to protect the entire smart government security
convergence infrastructure from cyber threats. These measures
include network segmentation, encryption protocols, intrusion
detection and prevention systems, and continuous monitoring of
network traffic.
- Command and Control Center: A centralized
command and control center to act as the nerve center of the
security infrastructure, integrating data from multiple sources,
providing operators with a comprehensive situational awareness
dashboard for effective decision-making and rapid incident response
coordination.
The implementation of these advanced
technologies and systems within the smart government security
convergence project aims to create a highly secure and
interconnected air-gapped environment. It facilitates proactive
threat detection, timely incident response, and effective resource
allocation, enabling governments to protect their critical
infrastructure.
“We deeply appreciate the trust placed in our
team, products, and solutions by the Egyptian Government. This
achievement is a testament to the tireless efforts of
representatives of the Government of Egypt and all at Gorilla. The
sheer scale is unique, propelling us closer to our vision of being
acknowledged as a global platform-as-a-service provider and a
catalyst for innovation,” Chandan added.
