With the addition of this solution, Z Services will extend its
cloud-based customer offering and enhance its consistent
data protection and threat prevention capabilities across
SaaS, IaaS and PaaS platforms such as Office 365, Box,
Dropbox, AWS and Microsoft Azure.
The in-country solution also enables customers to remain
compliant with regulations around data storage.
Z Services President Nidal Taha said: “Operating
within an environment of constant security threats,
organisations in the MENA region need a solution that
assures security across multiple cloud applications and
protects data.
Services, an innovative cloud-based
cybersecurity solutions provider in the MENA
region and McAfee, the device-to-cloud
cybersecurity company, will bring the first in-country
cloud security solution to organisations across the Middle
East and North Africa.

The solution, powered by McAfee’s MVISION Cloud, will be
available through Z Services’ in-country multi-tenant cloud
security infrastructure.
“Cloud Security provides organisations with better
visibility of Shadow IT cloud services, monitoring of cloud
application usage, prevention of cloud data leakage and
protection against diverse threats.
“The addition of the McAfee’s MVISION Cloud to our cloud-
based offering demonstrates our commitment to innovate
with customer needs in mind and offer newer layers of
security that regional businesses may not even have
considered yet.”
