SentinelOne fuels Egypt's Vision 2030 with AI-powered innovations
CAIRO, EGYPT - Digital transformation is well under way in Egypt, and SentinelOne® (NYSE: S), a global leader in AI-powered security, is out to accelerate it. The company recently participated in CAISEC 2025, where it highlighted the power of its AI-powered innovations in securing critical infrastructure, cloud workloads and identities.
'With digital threats evolving faster than ever, our autonomous, AI-driven platform gives organizations the power to detect and remediate threats in real time. CAISEC 2025 was an ideal platform for us to showcase SentinelOne's innovation and capabilities to organizations across Africa,' said Ezzeldin Hussein, Regional Senior Director of Solution Engineering at SentinelOne.
At the event, SentinelOne showed Purple AI Athena, the first agentic AI security analyst that automates threat investigations and response, in action, alongside Singularity Hyperautomation for machine-speed detection, orchestration and remediation, and Autonomous SOC capabilities that shift organizations from reactive to proactive security operations. The company also highlighted its unified endpoint, cloud and identity protection, offering complete visibility across hybrid environments and aligning with Egypt's priorities on cloud modernization and compliance.

The panel also examined how AI is not only transforming threat detection but redefining how organizations manage and authenticate users internally.
SentinelOne's presence at CAISEC 2025 underscored four key market trends: the urgent need for AI and hyperautomation to scale cyber defense, a shift toward platform consolidation to simplify security operations, the elevation of cyber resilience as a boardroom priority, and a growing emphasis on cloud- native security.

Global agrifood systems need urgent funding to support sustainable transformation and build climate resilience
Middle East – Global agrifood systems require annual investments of $1.1 trillion over the next five years to transition to sustainable, resilient food production models that secure employment and align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, current annual investment is severely lacking, reaching only 5% of the required amount. Unlocking greater capital flows will thus require innovative financing mechanisms. Currently, most private investments in food systems are concentrated in Europe and North America. Those most in need of investment – Asia Pacific, Africa and Latin America – remain significantly underfunded. A new joint report by Bain & Company and the World Economic Forum highlights innovative financing models that could lower investment barriers and bring in a broad range of financial actors to help meet the funding gap. 'Food systems transformation is not just a climate imperative — it is a commercial opportunity. Financiers with exposure to the food sector have a vested interest to improve credit risk profiles of their customers. Investing in food systems also allows financiers to adhere to increasingly stringent portfolio sustainability regulations and to deliver on critical stakeholder commitments,' said Iwona Steclik, a partner at Bain & Company's Financial Services practice in EMEA. Common barriers to funding the food system transformation include uncertainty around the financial returns, fragmented nature of food production creating operational challenges, inconsistent impact reporting and limited coordination across the value chain. Hence, innovative mechanisms are needed to scale up finance for climate resilience in agriculture. Given the diversity of food systems and varying starting points of financial institutions, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The report focuses on financing the transformation—primarily through lending—while acknowledging the importance of other instruments like insurance. The proposed financial models fall into three categories: direct farmer financing, lending via corporates, and multi-stakeholder platforms—each designed to lower investment barriers. Together, these models capture the breadth of innovation across markets, commodities, and de-risking strategies—highlighting the diverse pathways to transform food system finance. Initiatives such as Aceli Africa, Project Acorn, McCain's regenerative agriculture program, and the Innovative Finance for the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco (IFACC) platform demonstrate how commercial, philanthropic, and government capital can be aligned for scalable impact, according to the report. 'A defining feature of all these models is the need for coordinated action across the entire value chain, including farmers, agrifood companies, retailers, financial institutions, data providers and governments. Each of these models employs de-risking strategies that span from traditional financing tools like guarantees to innovative approaches such as monetizing ecosystem outcomes,' said Derek Baraldi, Head of Sustainable at the World Economic Forum. 'Transforming food systems presents major investment opportunities for commercial capital to unlock new markets, boost revenues, and enhance portfolio resilience. However, scaling such investments requires a customized strategy aligned with an institution's strengths, portfolio, risk appetite, and sustainability goals', said Christian Graf, partner at Bain & Company and leader of the EMEA Sustainability & Responsibility Financial Services practice. To succeed, financiers should: Set clear targets on food systems transformation investments and challenge teams to identify scalable, profitable models, tailored to portfolio and capabilities. Build strategic partnerships across the food value chain (including catalytic capital providers, agrifood companies and/or farmers) to ensure shareholder returns and accelerate delivery at scale. Design and adopt innovative financing mechanisms, supported by de-risking mechanisms (including demand signals). Manage credit risk effectively to work with emerging datasets and strengthen climate impact data capabilities. Secure active and sustained senior leadership support.
