Infoblox to host
cybersecurity
roadshow across MEA
Ashraf Sheet, Regional Director MEA
at Infoblox
nfoblox, a leader in Secure
Cloud-Managed Network
Services, has announced that
it is hosting a five city cybersecurity tour
throughout Middle East and Africa (MEA)
under the theme ‘Take Network Security
to the Next Level’. The roadshow will
kick off on February 24 2020 in Amman,
Jordan, and will conclude in Kuwait City
on March 11. Ashraf Sheet, Regional
Director MEA at Infoblox, said: “Today’s
enterprise is truly borderless. The
network perimeter is dissolving with
Digital Transformations like SD-WAN,
IoT and hybrid cloud, complicating
traditional security approaches. Remote
branches are directly connecting to
the Internet, losing the protection of
the full security stack deployed in the
data centre. Securing these evolving
IT architectures adds to the burden on
short-staffed security teams who are
already dealing with an overwhelming
number of alerts and rigid siloed security
tools. What’s needed is a foundational
approach that is simple yet pervasive,
cost-effective yet powerful and boosts
the efficiency of security operations
through automation.”

The full schedule of the road show,
with dates and cities for the tour across
Middle East and Africa are as follows: 24
February, Amman, Jordan; 26 February,
Doha, Qatar; 2 March, Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia; 4 March, Johannesburg, South
Africa; 11 March, Kuwait City, Kuwait.

server, the ThinkSystem SE350.
Designed to operate outside data
centres and in locations close to where
data is generated, the ThinkSystem
SE350, which will be powered by
Pivot3 HCI software, will address
issues surrounding security, latency,
bandwidth and downtime with regards
to Smart City applications.
In line with Lenovo’s strategy to
empower and facilitate ‘Intelligent

reflects the company’s evolving
partnership with Pivot3, a leading
provider of intelligent infrastructure
solutions, to develop, market and sell a
new set of converged computing and

exhibiting tremendous growth in terms
of adopting smart solutions. The UAE

as we work together to supply the
appetite for next generation computing
products and services.”
