SlashData and Methaq partner to drive the next phase of digital Takaful in the UAE
SlashData, a leading UAE-based govtech company, has partnered with Methaq Takaful Insurance to support the next phase of Takaful modernisation through the adoption of Mulem and Wtheeq, its digital platforms for data integration and policy issuance.
Together, these capabilities will enhance the policy journey and enable profitable growth while enriching the overall customer experience.
Through Mulem and Wtheeq, Methaq Takaful is improving how it accesses data and issues policies across its operations. Mulem enables secure access to key insurance data, supporting more accurate underwriting and faster processing, while Wtheeq streamlines policy issuance and documentation, reducing manual work and improving transaction speed.
As the insurance industry becomes more digital and connected, Takaful providers face a distinct challenge: scaling operations while preserving the principles that define the model, including transparency, fairness and shared responsibility. Addressing this requires more than process improvement, it calls for systems that support both growth and reliability.
Thamer Alfallaj, CEO, SlashData, said:“ Our partnership with Methaq Takaful reflects a shared vision for how the sector is evolving. As Takaful enters its next phase, the ability to operate on connected, reliable digital infrastructure becomes critical. Through Mulem and Wtheeq, we are enabling insurers to scale more effectively while maintaining the principles that define the model.”
INTECH secures project to strengthen OT cybersecurity infrastructure for one of the world’ s largest offshore oil fields in the Middle East
INTECH has secured a project to strengthen OT cybersecurity infrastructure across offshore production facilities associated with one of the world’ s largest offshore oil fields in the Middle East. The project will support the modernisation of legacy network security systems protecting critical production infrastructure across offshore and associated onshore environments.
With over a decade of experience securing complex industrial environments across the region, INTECH combines deep OT domain expertise with proven implementation capabilities. Leading industrial operators trust INTECH to protect largescale, production-critical facilities where cybersecurity must be implemented without disrupting safe and reliable operations. This experience enables INTECH to strengthen cybersecurity resilience across some of the region’ s most significant offshore production environments.
As part of this project, INTECH will:
• Assess existing network and security infrastructure across multiple offshore sites
• Modernise legacy OT security infrastructure in alignment with operational requirements and industry best practices
• Implement and validate updated cybersecurity controls
• Execute controlled deployment activities designed to maintain stable operations throughout the transition
• Enhance the resilience of industrial automation and control systems across production-critical facilities
• Strengthen the overall cybersecurity posture while supporting safe and reliable production operations
These activities will improve network segmentation and infrastructure reliability while enhancing the long-term security of the OT environment supporting offshore production operations. The project will support the continued safe and uninterrupted operation of offshore production systems and strengthen cybersecurity resilience across critical facilities.
