Through this collaboration, GBM will deliver around-the-clock threat monitoring, rapid detection, and swift incident response to protect PRIME Health's digital environment. At the core of the collaboration are fully managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms, empowering security teams with automated workflows, real-time insights, and a unified dashboard for enhanced visibility and faster decision-making.
In addition, PRIME Health will leverage GBM's expert Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) team to rapidly investigate and contain threats, while gaining access to contextual, healthcare-specific threat intelligence. Furthermore, the partnership will help safeguard the healthcare provider's digital reputation by proactively monitoring for misuse, impersonation, and threats targeting the brand.
Beyond day-to-day operations, GBM will also provide ongoing support to strengthen PRIME Health's cybersecurity posture, ensuring continuous alignment with best practices, regulatory compliance, and evolving threat landscapes.
Driven by a strong commitment to technological advancement in healthcare, the UAE's digital health market is projected to reach US$ 2.65 billion by 2030. The collaboration further taps into this opportunity by proactively identifying and mitigating cyber threats targeting patient data and medical devices, thereby contributing to safeguarding the critical healthcare ecosystem in the UAE.
Jaleel Rahiman, IT Director at PRIME Health, said, 'At PRIME Health, we recognize that cybersecurity is essential for ensuring operational resilience and safeguarding patient data, and preserving the trust of every individual who walks through our doors. As part of our continued pursuit of excellence, we were looking for a globally recognized provider that could deliver top-grade cybersecurity while securing our complex environment end to end so that our internal teams are free to focus on innovation and care delivery. This initiative reflects our promise of 'Personalised Care, Personally'—where every patient interaction is built on a foundation of trust and data confidentiality. With its proven reputation, strong partnerships, and local presence in the UAE, GBM is our trusted partner in supporting our security goals and compliance roadmap.'

Our multi-layered collaboration reflects our shared commitment to building a secure and resilient healthcare environment. We are delighted to help PRIME Health demonstrate leadership in secure digital transformation, build patient trust by proactively defending sensitive health data, and strengthen their reputation as a security-conscious, future-ready healthcare provider.'

Port of NEOM receives fully automated cranes; work on track
Saudi Arabia - Port of NEOM, set to become an advanced and sustainable port, has marked a major milestone with the arrival of the first fully automated, remote-controlled ship-to-shore (STS) and electric rubber-tyred gantry (eRTG) cranes in KSA — advancing its goal to become a global hub for smart, sustainable trade. Strategically located on the Red Sea, one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, Port of NEOM is already serving as a critical gateway on the East–West trade route. The newly arrived state-of-the-art cranes will play a critical role in the port's automation strategy, unlocking the potential for high-volume, high-efficiency operations. Importantly, their remote-control capability allows for a future-ready workforce model, where operators can manage equipment from secure, ergonomic environments. Development of Port of NEOM continues at pace ahead of the 2026 opening of Terminal 1, a next-generation container terminal, with recent infrastructure milestones including the completion of a 900-m quay wall and the deepening of the port channel to 18.5 m — enabling the world's largest vessels transiting the Suez Canal to call at Port of NEOM. Terminal 1 will also feature horizontal transport automation as part of the broader goal to achieve full automation. Once operational, these technologies will significantly expand the port's logistics capacity, driving regional industrial growth, opening access to global markets, enhancing supply chain resilience and unlocking business opportunities. Sean Kelly, Managing Director of Port of NEOM, said: 'The arrival of our first automated cranes marks a tangible milestone as we lay the foundations for an advanced, future-ready port. We're not only accelerating industrial growth in northwest Saudi Arabia, but we're also setting a new benchmark for performance, efficiency, innovation and establishing a vital trade gateway for the Kingdom and the region beyond.' In parallel with its investments in infrastructure and automation, Port of NEOM is also committed to developing local talent, including training Saudi women to take on high-tech roles. Central to this effort is a pioneering initiative to train the next generation of Production Specialists to gain the skills to become remote crane operators, thereby helping shape a more inclusive future for the logistics and industrial sectors. Ten participants from the Tabuk region are currently enrolled in an intensive two-year programme that blends technical instruction and hands-on training with dedicated mentorship.

Omnix launches key solutions to advance regional project delivery
Omnix International, a leading provider of digital transformation and innovative technology solutions, has announced the expansion of its portfolio with a new suite of integrated digitised construction workflows offerings. These solutions are designed to digitise critical workflows across the construction lifecycle, fundamentally transforming how projects are planned, executed, and optimized through data intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems, said a statement from Omnix. Tailored to address the unique needs of the Middle East region, this strategic move underscores Omnix's vision to drive innovation, boost efficiency, and help clients meet evolving demands to build faster, smarter, and more sustainably. This launch comes at a pivotal time for the construction sector, which faces mounting challenges including labor shortages, cost pressures, regulatory demands, and outdated processes. With the Middle East witnessing rapid urban expansion and executing mega projects, the need for advanced digital solutions has never been greater. According to RICS and McKinsey, the global construction industry continues to lag in digital adoption - especially in areas like ESG reporting, carbon tracking, and lifecycle management. Omnix's new offerings directly address these gaps with integrated tools that promote smarter planning, improved collaboration, and measurable outcomes, said its top official. "Our mission to digitally transform construction workflows is aimed at empowering clients to build with greater confidence, efficiency, and purpose. This marks a key milestone in our journey to deliver value-driven, future-ready solutions," remarked its CEO Walid Gomaa. "Our focus on regional priorities, data interoperability, and intelligent insights will help clients reduce risk, enhance sustainability, and achieve stronger business outcomes across project lifecycles," he noted. Alaf Abdul Latheef, Regional Business Unit Head, said: "Our offerings are built to address regional challenges with a flexible and modular framework. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and architectural expertise, we have designed a solution that adapts to our clients' realities - enhancing compliance, visibility, and collaboration without requiring a complete overhaul of existing systems." Omnix said the newly launched digitised construction workflows includes centralised tendering and bid management, real-time cost control and scheduling dashboards, digital twin integration, field safety and compliance monitoring, built-in ESG and carbon analytics, AI-enhanced document and RFI management, and mobile-enabled tools for site access and task tracking. "Our approach is focused on plug-and-play compatibility with existing software, custom integrations that bridge data between design, construction and operations phases, and strengthened with AI-enabled data insights," he noted. Early implementations are already underway, with broader rollouts scheduled for 2025 and 2026. This phased approach enables Omnix to fine-tune its solutions based on real-world feedback and ensure alignment with regional workflows and compliance standards, he added.
