Tell us about Heimdal Security and its participation at GITEX.

Heimdal is the representation of a future approach to security. We are a Europe-based security vendor based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and we have a high adoption rate throughout the world. We combine threat prevention, vulnerability management, access management, and antivirus and e-mail security into a single platform that simplifies IT operations and helps companies stop any cyberattack, keeping critical assets, information and intellectual property safe.

As for GITEX, it feels great to be here and meet people face-to-face after two years of restrictions and online meetings. It provides a great platform for us to showcase our products and solutions and network with innovative minds in the industry.
