ESET named a notable provider in latest European MDR Landscape report
Dubai, UAE: ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce its recognition as a 'Notable Provider' in Forrester's recently released The Managed Detection and Response Services in Europe Landscape, Q2 2025 report. The report provides an overview of 26 MDR providers and serves as a strategic guide for security and risk (S&R) professionals seeking to navigate the evolving European MDR landscape. As outlined in the report*, Forrester defines MDR services as: 'Services that augment extended detection and response (XDR) tools with telemetry from network, identity, cloud, APIs, applications, and other log sources to produce high-fidelity detections, conduct investigations, support remote incident response, enable security automation, initiate threat hunts to identify adversaries that circumvent security controls, and help improve their clients' overall security posture.' In our view, ESET´s inclusion in the report underscores its growing influence in the European cybersecurity market and reaffirms the company's commitment to delivering high-quality, proactive threat detection and response capabilities. 'We are proud to be recognized by Forrester as a Notable Provider in the European MDR landscape,' said Michal Jankech, Vice President, Enterprise & SMB/MSP, at ESET. 'For us, this acknowledgment is a testament to the relentless dedication of our global teams and our unwavering commitment to protecting organizations across Europe with cutting-edge, resilient cybersecurity solutions. As the threat landscape becomes increasingly complex and adversaries more sophisticated, we believe that MDR must evolve beyond traditional detection and response. At ESET, we are focused on delivering intelligent and cost-effective services that not only detect threats but also empower organizations to respond with speed, precision, and confidence.' The European MDR market is becoming increasingly competitive and mature, leading customers to demand better services at lower costs. To stay competitive, providers are innovating with their offerings and pricing. As a consequence, S&R professionals will have a wide range of provider options to consider. The Forrester report identifies three major dynamics shaping the MDR market in Europe, all of which align closely with ESET's MDR offerings: European firms consider XDR an essential capability: ESET's XDR-enabling solution delivers comprehensive, transparent threat visibility and response across endpoints, networks, and applications. Backed by over 30 years of cybersecurity innovation, it combines multilayered protection, intelligent automation, and expert-level customization. AI helps fill talent gaps in detection, but not response: Complemented by expert insights, ESET effectively integrates AI into its MDR offerings through ESET AI Advisor. This tool delivers real-time, personalized threat insights, simplifies complex data for all skill levels, and boosts efficiency by automating routine tasks—empowering faster, smarter threat response. Niche regional providers leverage localization and specialization to compete with dominant players: Leveraging its Central European roots, ESET delivers highly localized, regulation-aligned cybersecurity solutions across EMEA. *Forrester: The Managed Detection And Response Services In Europe Landscape, Q2 2025.

Help AG Deepens Partnership With F5
Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of e& enterprise, has inked a strategic partnership agreement to be the first Managed Services Provider (MSP) partner for F5 in the Middle East region. Building on a long-standing partnership with F5, Help AG has launched its next-generation Managed App and API Protection Service based on the F5 Distributed Cloud Platform. This is an always-on, cloud-delivered managed service for the AI era, designed to secure modern digital infrastructure across public, private, edge, and hybrid cloud environments. Today's threat landscape is more complex, with malicious actors being able to access a broader attack surface as enterprises rapidly shift towards API-driven architectures, edge computing, and cloud-native applications. From automated bot attacks and API abuse to sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attempts, the pressure on security teams has never been greater. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that many enterprises lack the knowledge and tools to protect themselves against these types of attacks Help AG's Managed App and Application Protection service directly addresses these evolving challenges by providing multi-layered protection as a managed, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. Backed by F5's globally recognised F5 Distributed Cloud Services and operated 24×7 by Help AG's expert SOC team, the new service enables clients to simplify operations, ensure compliance, and respond to threats in real time. Leveraging Help AG's local expertise and managed service leadership, businesses can now deploy resilient, compliant, and cost-efficient application protection. Stephan Berner, Chief Executive Officer of Help AG, said: 'This is a strategic leap forward for enterprise security. Our collaboration with F5 reflects our shared vision of securing every application, API, and digital interaction, at scale. With this new service, we are providing regional organisations with enterprise-grade security that is proactive, cost-effective, and built for the cloud-first era.' The solution provides unified protection that includes Web Application Firewall (WAF), advanced bot mitigation, API discovery and security, plus DDoS defence; all accessible through a centralised SaaS-based management console that ensures full visibility and control. Clients benefit from flexible deployment models across regional and customer edge locations, hybrid setups, and full support and continuous tuning by Help AG's expert teams. Mustapha Hlil, Director of Channel Sales for the Middle East, Türkiye and Africa at F5, commented: 'As cyber threats become more sophisticated and widespread, the need for always-on, adaptable security has become mission-critical. Help AG's security expertise, managed services leadership and state-of-the-art SOC with 24×7 support – combined with the F5 Distributed Cloud platform – provides a powerful solution for customers navigating complex digital transformation journeys. It will also significantly help enterprises lacking the expertise to deploy and manage security solutions.' The launch marks a new chapter in the Help AG and F5 partnership, further strengthening their joint commitment to securing the region's digital future and helping organisations build trust in every digital interaction. 0 0

More than 100 tech specialists graduate from Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence
The latest class of graduates from the world's first dedicated artificial intelligence university have proudly completed their studies. More than 100 students graduated from Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence on Wednesday during a ceremony in Abu Dhabi. They hail from 24 countries, and include 91 master's degree and 12 PhD students, with 20 Emiratis among them. The cohort's research covered a range of cutting-edge areas, including detecting Alzheimer's disease, developing climate change models and building Arabic-language AI tools. The university opened in 2020 as part of the UAE's strategy to become a global centre for AI development and innovation. Among the 104 graduates was Daniel Gebre, 27, from Eritrea, who completed a master's degree in machine learning. His research focused on making AI models smaller and more efficient so they can be used on mobile phones in areas with limited internet access. 'This was deeply personal. I grew up in a place with poor internet,' he told The National. 'I wanted to build tools that people like my friends back home could use for studying and daily activities, without needing a connection.' Mr Gebre arrived in the country in 2019 through a UAE government scholarship programme and earned a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity from Zayed University. He now has a job offer as a machine learning engineer from technology group G42. Umaima Rahman, 29, from India, earned a PhD in computer vision, with a research focus on deep learning for medical imaging. She is now exploring postdoctoral roles and jobs focused on AI applications in health care. 'The journey was difficult but extremely rewarding,' she said. 'One of the best things about the university is the collaborative research environment – you're encouraged to work across disciplines.' Making the grade For Yevheniia Kryklyvets, 24, from Ukraine, the ceremony was especially emotional. After missing her undergraduate graduation in 2022 due to the war in Ukraine, this marked her first official ceremony. She completed a master's degree in computer vision. 'It was so exciting, especially seeing the support from the country's leadership,' Ms Kryklyvets said. 'This is a research-based university, so what we're doing is an applied AI. Our projects can be published and can be interpreted into the real world and used for problem solving.' Career fairs hosted by the university connected her with industry leaders already seeking to recruit from the graduating class, but she is yet to decide which direction she would like to take. 'The UAE is not just contributing to the global AI movement, but is at the centre stage,' Prof Eric Xing, MBZUAI president, told The National. 'I think that the university had an impact in taking the country into that league. The function of the university is really to make the impossible possible with our hard work and also with minds.' The university's curriculum includes core disciplines like machine learning, computer vision and natural language processing, with research applications in fields such as health care, climate and language technology. It recently announced a five and 10-year plan, including establishing two new colleges – for digital public health and decision science. 'This really entails adding additional disciplines and under the foundation of AI know-how, but addressing real problems in the space of medicine, biology and also operational research and business administrations,' said Prof Xing. In 10 years, the university will look to establish a school of arts and sciences and a school of engineering. Earlier this month, the UAE and US announced plans to build a new five-gigawatt AI Campus in Abu Dhabi during US President Donald Trump's visit. According to the US Department of Commerce and state news agency Wam, the campus will host data centres that allow American tech companies to offer faster AI services to nearly half of the world's population living within 3,200km of the UAE. It will be one of the largest AI centres outside the US, the Department of Commerce said.
