TXOne Networks, a leader in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security, has announced its expansion into the Middle East, offering end-to-end solutions to ensure the reliability and safety of industrial operations. The announcement was made at the Gitex Global 2023 exhibition in Dubai, which attracted thousands of tech executives and government entities from around the world.

In an interview with Khaleej Times, Dr. Terence Liu, CEO of TXOne Networks, explained the company’s focus on providing critical infrastructure and practical cybersecurity solutions to leading manufacturers and industries in the region. He emphasized the difference between operational technology (OT) and informational technology (IT), stating that TXOne Networks specializes in securing industrial settings, where machines and legacy technology are at risk.

According to Dr. Liu, the challenge for large-scale companies is to maintain continuous operations while implementing effective security measures. He introduced the concept of the OT Zero Trust framework, an asset-centric approach that protects critical assets throughout their lifecycle, streamlines management, and reduces security overhead.

Noting the rapid growth of the cybersecurity market in recent years, Dr. Liu expressed confidence in TXOne Networks’ ability to make a significant impact in the Middle East. He highlighted the company’s expansion from a small team to over 400 employees worldwide since its inception in 2019. With their entry into the region, Dr. Liu believes TXOne Networks can play a vital role in safeguarding businesses and promoting further growth and economic development.

As TXOne Networks establishes its presence in the UAE, Dr. Liu mentioned the company’s plans to explore opportunities in other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt. By offering tailored solutions and expertise in OT cybersecurity, TXOne Networks aims to become a trusted partner for industries in the region.
