UAE Cyber Security Council Collaborates With Rilian Technologies And CPX Holding To Secure Critical Infrastructure

Rilian Technologies has entered into a strategic partnership with the UAE Cybersecurity Council, coordinated by CPX Holding. This collaboration aims to secure the nation's critical infrastructure using advanced technologies from both local and international partners, including Google Cloud. The initiative will focus on integrating and automating cybersecurity solutions in operational technology (OT) systems.

The UAE's National Security Operations Centre (NSOC) will collaborate with Rilian Technologies to implement the Rilian Defense Platform (RDP). This platform will integrate various cybersecurity solutions to protect essential OT systems. Dr. Mohammed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government, stated, "Over the past decade, the UAE has pursued a vision of innovation to enhance our people’s lives and establish the safest and most dynamic economy," adding that this agreement is crucial for safeguarding this vision.

As digital modernisation accelerates in the UAE, protecting national assets and critical infrastructures is paramount. CPX, along with Rilian and its partners, will leverage expertise in security operations, compliance, automation, and sovereign cloud technologies for OT. This collaboration aims to deliver a next-generation security operations platform for NSOC. The solution will provide real-time threat detection and automated incident response.

AI-Driven Cybersecurity Solutions

Under this agreement, Rilian and CPX are tasked with developing AI agents to automate cyber threat solutions. These agents will assess risks to national critical infrastructure. Christian Schnedler, CEO of Rilian Technologies, expressed pride in partnering with CPX and international companies to bring world-class security technologies that enhance cyber resilience.

Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX Holding, noted that this agreement comes at a crucial time as AI-driven capabilities are rapidly adopted by both threat actors and defenders. By increasing autonomy for security operations centers, CPX and Rilian aim to significantly improve the efficiency of Emirati operators working to protect national infrastructure.

The UAE's commitment to securing its 2031 vision through resilient infrastructure is evident in this strategic partnership. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and expertise from global partners, the nation aims to ensure robust protection of its digital infrastructure while enhancing overall cyber resilience.
