Help AG signs agreement to be F5 MSP partner in the region delivering API Protection

Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of e & enterprise, has inked a strategic partnership agreement to be the first Managed Services Provider, MSP partner for F5 in the Middle East region.

Building on a long-standing partnership with F5, Help AG has launched its nextgeneration Managed App and API Protection Service based on the F5 Distributed Cloud Platform. This is an always-on, clouddelivered managed service for the AI era, designed to secure modern digital infrastructure across public, private, edge, and hybrid cloud environments.
Today’ s threat landscape is more complex, with malicious actors being able to access a broader attack surface as enterprises rapidly shift towards APIdriven architectures, edge computing, and cloud-native applications. From automated bot attacks and API abuse to sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service, DDoS attempts, the pressure on security teams has never been greater.
The problem is exacerbated by the fact that many enterprises lack the knowledge and tools to protect themselves against these types of attacks
Help AG’ s Managed App and Application Protection service directly addresses these evolving challenges by providing multi-layered protection as a managed, Software-as-a- Service, SaaS offering. Backed by F5’ s globally recognised F5 Distributed Cloud Services and operated 24x7 by Help AG’ s expert SOC team, the new service enables clients to simplify operations, ensure compliance, and respond to threats in real time.
Leveraging Help AG’ s local expertise and managed service leadership, businesses can
now deploy resilient, compliant, and costefficient application protection.
Stephan Berner, Chief Executive Officer of Help AG, said:“ This is a strategic leap forward for enterprise security. Our collaboration with F5 reflects our shared vision of securing every application, API, and digital interaction, at scale. With this new service, we are providing regional organisations with enterprise-grade security that is proactive, cost-effective, and built for the cloud-first era.”
Omnix launches Digitised Construction Workflows to improve construction lifecycles

Omnix International, a provider of digital transformation and innovative technology solutions, announced the expansion of its portfolio with a new suite of integrated Digitised Construction Workflows offerings. These solutions are designed to digitise critical workflows across the construction lifecycle, fundamentally transforming how projects are planned, executed, and optimised through data intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems.

Tailored to address the unique needs of the Middle East region, this strategic move underscores Omnix’ s vision to drive innovation, boost efficiency, and help clients meet evolving demands to build faster, smarter, and more sustainably.
This launch comes at a pivotal time for the construction sector, which faces mounting challenges including labour shortages, cost pressures, regulatory demands, and outdated processes. With the Middle East witnessing rapid urban expansion and executing mega projects, the need for advanced digital solutions has never been greater.
According to RICS and McKinsey, the global construction industry continues to lag in digital adoption, especially in areas like ESG reporting, carbon tracking, and lifecycle management. Omnix’ s new offerings directly address these gaps with integrated tools that promote smarter planning, improved collaboration, and measurable outcomes.
Alaf Abdul Latheef, Regional Business Unit Head, added,“ Our offerings are built to address regional challenges with a flexible and modular framework. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and architectural expertise, we have designed a solution that adapts to our clients’ realities, enhancing
