Qualys selects Teksalah to join mROC Partner Alliance
Qualys has announced the expansion of its invite-only managed Risk Operations Centre (mROC) Partner Alliance with seven new global partners, including Teksalah from the Middle East.
This marks a significant step forward in Qualys' mission to build a robust Risk Operations Centre (ROC) ecosystem—making business-aligned cyber risk management more accessible, actionable, and measurable for organisations worldwide.
Built on the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Management Platform, the ROC framework consolidates risk signals across an organisation's digital footprint into a single pane of glass. It enables Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), cyber risk quantification, and risk remediation, empowering CISOs to translate cyber risk into business terms, ensure audit readiness, and build long-term resilience.
The mROC Partner Alliance equips partners to drive growth by delivering enhanced Qualys-powered ROC services that transform how enterprises measure, manage, and reduce cyber risk. The expanded roster of partners brings world-class expertise to help organisations overcome common cybersecurity challenges such as fragmented tools, disjointed risk response, and limited visibility—enabling a proactive approach to managing cyber risk at scale.
'When we introduced the concept of the Risk Operations Centre, we knew it had the potential to redefine how organisations manage cyber risk', said Sumedh Thakar, President and CEO of Qualys. 'Today, with the launch of our inaugural global mROC partners, we're delivering on that vision. This is a major milestone in building a thriving ROC ecosystem—one that helps businesses around the world take control of cyber risk with clarity, speed, and measurable impact'.
mROC Partners, through a comprehensive suite of risk service offerings, play a critical role in Qualys' mission to make cyber risk management easier to adopt, more practical to implement, and more impactful for organisations globally.
This innovative group of mROC partners has been thoroughly trained and enabled to operate a ROC powered by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM), delivering comprehensive managed risk services. By aggregating and analysing risk signals from both Qualys and third-party tools, they offer their clients a holistic, business-aligned view of their risk exposure.
'The Teksalah and Qualys partnership is built on a shared vision — to embed a holistic risk-based, proactive approach at the core of enterprise cybersecurity. Through our powerful platforms, intelligent tools, and proven services—covering real-time risk monitoring to effective remediation—we are enabling organisations to manage risk with precision and drive secure innovation. Together, we are transforming our client's cybersecurity from a control function into a catalyst for business growth and resilience', commented Murali Konasani, CEO, Teksalah.

Abu Dhabi health drive raises Dh509 million in two weeks to support patients with chronic diseases
An Abu Dhabi humanitarian drive aiming to provide critical support to patients with chronic diseases and people with various disabilities has raised more than half of its Dh1 billion fund-raising target in only two weeks. The Life Endowment campaign, established by the Endowments and Minors Funds Authority (Awqaf Abu Dhabi), has collected Dh509 million from 93,000 contributors, it was announced on Sunday. The vital initiative, being held under the slogan With you for Life, was announced by President Sheikh Mohamed under the UAE's Year of Community. The impressive running total is thanks to contributions from both individuals and businesses alike, including a Dh172 million donation from Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation. The drive will help to cover treatment costs for people while supporting the research and development of pharmaceutical drugs. Fahad Al Qassim, director general of the Abu Dhabi Endowments and Minors Funds Authority, said the scheme represented a major milestone in the UAE's philanthropic vision. 'The significant contributions received since the campaign's launch demonstrate the UAE community's unwavering commitment to supporting humanitarian initiatives," Mr Al Qassim said. "The enthusiastic response to the Life Endowment campaign exemplifies deep compassion for those suffering from chronic diseases and for people of determination. "The continued flow of generous contributions through various channels underscores the widespread culture of endowment in our society as a key catalyst of sustainability.' Who will benefit from fund? The fund will be continuous and have no end date, Mr Al Qassim previously told T he National. Its finances will be invested and then spent to help patients. 'Assets will be invested and the returns will be spent on treatment, which means that we have a sustainable financial instrument and product that gives returns every single year,' he said in an interview following the campaign's launch. 'This endowment caters for the weakest point in the community and a lot of those people are actually non-UAE nationals. Emiratis today, at the end of the day, they do get the treatment from the government by the leadership. Expats today are more vulnerable in terms of the weaker point of the community. 'Endowments are here to stay for generations. It's not for the next two years, and then it will be mothballed or to a different initiative. No, it will continue to be there, hopefully for generations to come.' Abu Dhabi's Department of Health is overseeing the health-related aspects of the endowment, ensuring contributions are directed effectively to support specialised care and reach those who need the funds most. The campaign has two fund-raising arms – the Emirates Red Crescent Authority, which has been a leading humanitarian entity since 1983, and the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma'an, Abu Dhabi's official channel to receive social contributions.
