In addition, Proofpoint's market-leading cybersecurity and awareness training platform, ZenGuide, will be integrated with Cybergate Academy's cybersecurity curriculum, offered to organizations in the UAE and globally. Emile Abou Saleh, Vice President, Northern Europe, Middle East, Turkey & Africa at Proofpoint said, 'Organizations in the UAE face a fast-evolving threat landscape and our main objective over the coming years is to continue protecting public sector companies in the region, with innovative, AI-powered human-centric solutions. By expanding our collaboration with our trusted partner, CyberGate, we aim to elevate the standard of cybersecurity awareness and education across the region, providing organizations, particularly those in the public sector, with the tools they need to navigate today's complex threat landscape successfully, protecting their people and defending their data.'

Partnering with Proofpoint, a globally recognized cybersecurity leader, enables us to further extend our cybersecurity knowledge and resources, empowering organizations across sectors to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses and safeguard their digital assets. At CyberGate, we firmly believe that collective efforts and knowledge sharing are instrumental in protecting individuals and businesses from the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.'
