Seclore Expands Data-Centric Security Solutions Across META
Seclore has unveiled significant advancements in its data-centric security solutions during GISEC Global 2026, focusing on the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META). The company showcased its unified ARMOR platform, which integrates Data Security Posture Management, data classification, and Enterprise Digital Rights Management to safeguard sensitive information as it traverses various environments.
Uraz Farukh, Senior Vice President – META at Seclore, emphasized the importance of addressing the evolving regulatory landscape and cross-border data risks. In an interview with Tahawultech.com, he outlined the company’s commitment to enhancing local operations and fostering secure digital ecosystems across the region.
Challenges in Data Security Amid Rapid Technological Adoption
The rapid adoption of AI and cloud technologies presents new challenges for enterprises in META. As organizations increasingly rely on these technologies, the movement of sensitive data across users, applications, and geographical boundaries complicates visibility and control. Farukh noted that AI models require access to vast amounts of organizational data, raising concerns about data sensitivity and access management.
“Stronger data classification, masking, tokenisation and persistent protection are essential to prevent unauthorised access, intellectual property exposure and cross-border data leakage.”
Regulatory Influences and Regional Growth
Data sovereignty and privacy regulations are increasingly shaping the operational landscape for organizations in the region. Compliance with laws such as Saudi Arabia’s Essential Cybersecurity Controls and Personal Data Protection Law, as well as Dubai’s data compliance standards, is critical. Farukh highlighted that organizations must ensure sensitive information remains within approved legal and geographical boundaries, necessitating a shift from traditional network security to data-centric protection.
Seclore’s presence in the region has grown significantly, with a strong foothold in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and an expanding customer base that includes leading financial institutions, defense organizations, and government entities. The establishment of a regional headquarters in Riyadh underscores Seclore’s long-term commitment to the META market.
“Initiatives such as Secure 2030, supported by our expanding partner network, are helping organizations adopt a data-centric approach to security and digital transformation.”
Future Directions for Seclore in META
Looking ahead, Seclore aims to accelerate the adoption of its ARMOR platform while strengthening local operations and expanding its strategic partner ecosystem. The company is particularly focused on supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions and addressing the growing need for secure digital infrastructure. Additionally, Africa presents a vital growth opportunity as data protection regulations evolve across the continent. Seclore is enhancing partnerships in countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Nigeria to provide localized support and expertise.
