This collaboration will bring ADAMnetworks’ adam: ONE platform to enterprises, governments and critical sectors across the region, revolutionising cybersecurity by shifting from reactive defences to proactive, AI-driven protection.

As cyberthreats escalate in the MEA – with the number of overall ransomware groups active in the UAE increasing by 58 % in 2024 and state-sponsored espionage targeting key industries such as oil and gas, finance and telecommunications – this partnership arrives at a pivotal moment.

ADAMnetworks’ ZTc technology, built on a‘ deny-by-default’ philosophy, eliminates vulnerabilities at the network edge by using AI-driven dynamic allowlisting to permit only verified connections. This reduces the attack surface by more than 7,000:1, blocks command-andcontrol channels before they activate and neutralises phishing, data exfiltration and shadow IT risks without requiring endpoint agents.

Integrated with DNSharmony DNS intelligence aggregation, it combines multiple threat feeds for comprehensive, real-time protection against malware, trackers and harmful content.

For the MEA region, where Digital Transformation is accelerating but legacy security models falter against sophisticated adversaries, this means unprecedented cyber-resilience.

Organisations can now deploy device-agnostic, encryptionfriendly solutions that support IoT, OT and cloud environments seamlessly, ensuring compliance with evolving data privacy regulations such as the UAE’ s Federal Data Protection Law and Saudi Arabia’ s PDPL.

By empowering more than 800 channel partners through Spire’ s extensive network, the partnership will accelerate secure

adoption, protecting over 1,000 organisations and fostering a safer digital ecosystem.

This visionary move not only underscores Spire’ s commitment to innovation but also delivers immense value to the MEA market by introducing a scalable, proactive defence mechanism that transforms how organisations mitigate risks, enabling faster, more secure digital growth without compromising performance or privacy.

“ In an era where cyberthreats do not respect borders, the Middle East and Africa need solutions that anticipate and neutralise risks before they materialise,” said Sanjeev Walia, Founder and President of Spire Solutions.

“ The consequences of the successful implementation of Zero Trust Connectivity have a huge effect on hardening the security posture of organisations that adopt it. ADAMnetworks and its adam: ONE platform exemplify our dedication to bringing niche, regionally relevant technologies to the forefront.

“ This partnership isn’ t just about distribution – it’ s about empowering our clients with a game-changing tool that builds true cyber-resilience, safeguarding everything from smart cities to financial hubs as they embrace the future of connected everything.”

David Redekop, Founder and CEO of ADAMnetworks, said:“ Zero Trust Connectivity is about more than security; it’ s about stewarding technology that protects human potential in a digital world. We are thrilled to join forces with Spire Solutions, whose deep MEA expertise, innovative scouting prowess and robust partner ecosystem will amplify adam: ONE’ s impact. Together, we will deliver proactive defences to neutralise attacks before it is even possible to detect them.” •
