As digital transformation, AI adoption, and cloud modernization continue across the Middle East, organizations face increasingly complex threats; from nation-state attacks to ransomware, supply-chain disruptions, and AI-enabled social engineering. Critical sectors such as energy, transportation, finance, and government require modern protection models that deliver real-time detection, automated response, and sustained operational resilience. At the same time, new regulations, including Information Assurance and Data Protection laws in the UAE and national cybersecurity guidelines in Saudi Arabia and Qatar are reshaping compliance requirements for both public and private entities.
Through this partnership, SentinelOne and Rilian Technologies plan to deliver full-stack cybersecurity services, including advanced deployment, integration, SOC enablement, and operational technology (OT) security programs to help customers modernize and secure their platforms end-to-end. The partnership also expands support for air-gapped and mission-critical environments, enabling operators of critical services can deploy advanced security controls without compromising isolation or operational continuity. Together, they align global innovation with regional priorities to enhance data control, strengthen regulatory compliance and protect the critical infrastructure that underpins economic diversification and long-term national competitiveness.
Beyond technology deployment, the partnership will also focus on building local expertise, expanding cybersecurity skills, and enabling regional teams with the tools and training needed to operate autonomous, AI-powered security environments. The goal is to elevate regional capabilities across cloud, identity, endpoint, and OT domains; and help organizations transition from reactive cybersecurity operations to proactive, intelligence-driven defense.
By combining SentinelOne’s innovation with the Rilian platform’s ability to promote secure technology adoption, we believe this partnership is set to accelerate the implementation of modern cybersecurity across the Middle East, ensuring organizations have the capabilities, support, and expertise required to protect their most critical assets against today’s rapidly evolving threats.
