IoT is being rapidly adopted across healthcare , manufacturing , critical infrastructure and other industries across the Middle East , enabling numerous benefits for businesses and customers . However , this technology can also create new – and sometimes hidden – cybersecurity risks . Abdulaziz Alajlan , Account Executive , Asimily , discusses how the company is helping regional enterprises secure their connected devices while maintaining operational continuity through its strategic partnership with AmiViz .

As one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies globally , what sets Asimily apart from other IoT security solutions on the market ?

We ’ ve been growing quickly by taking a unique risk-based approach to IoT device security . Many solutions simply identify vulnerabilities – but that isn ’ t all that helpful when teams are overwhelmed by vulnerability alerts that may be something important or benign . Instead , our platform uses advanced Machine Learning to know which vulnerabilities actually pose real-world risks to your organisation .

IoT devices typically have multiple vulnerabilities , but only 5 – 10 % have genuine exploit risks based on their use case , network configuration and other variables . Particularly as IoT device fleets scale , directed focus is more important than ever .

Our platform ’ s ability to passively scan devices without disrupting critical operations is particularly valuable for organisations in the Middle East , where we ’ re seeing rapid IoT adoption across healthcare , manufacturing , critical infrastructure and other industries . Through our strategic partnership with AmiViz , we ’ re helping regional enterprises secure their connected devices while maintaining operational continuity .
