Cybersecurity company VMware to
open new office in KSA
VMware has announced plans to open
an office in Riyadh to help organisations
in the Kingdom transform and secure
their cyber operations.
Jean-Pierre Brulard, senior vice
president and general manager,
Europe, Middle East and Africa,
VMware, said at the IDC CIO Security
Summit in Saudi Arabia: “VMware is
committed to helping organisations
through their transformation journeys
and we are delighted to be announcing
our expanded presence in the region
with a new office opening in Riyadh
this year.”
Ahmed Auda, managing director,
Middle East and North Africa, VMware,
added: “Cybersecurity has moved from
Jean-Pierre Brulard, senior vice president and
general manager, EMEA, VMware, delivering a
presentation on cybersecurity
an IT team discussion to a boardroom
discussion, with every employee
being responsible for protecting their
organisation from cyber threats. Saudi
organisations are
among regional leaders
in recognising the
importance in delivering
end-to-end cybersecurity
strategies. By leveraging
security across the
cloud, mobility, and
data centres, CIOs can
embed security in the IT
infrastructure, and keep
their employees up-to-
date on the best practices
and methods on how to
protect their data.
“Having a new office in Riyadh
will enable us to better service our
customers in Saudi Arabia and we look
forward to that opening later this year.”

property, even when they can’t. Ring re-imagined the doorbell
so consumers could respond – using a smartphone – to
someone at their front door from any place, anytime while
simplifying the technology with the combination of app,
cloud and security hardware,” said Mohammad Meraj Hoda,
Managing Director of Ring.
