One of the region's biggest celebrations of IT excellence, the GEC Awards serves as a benchmark for outstanding performance across the IT industry in the Middle East and Africa.

DarkMatter was selected by an independent panel of judges for its innovation and continued efforts to push the boundaries of IT security. Since 2015, DarkMatter has successfully deployed complex and highly customised cyber security systems to government and enterprise customers.

Commenting on the award, Faisal Al Bannai, Chief Executive Officer of DarkMatter said, "We are pleased that such a prominent awards programme, so focused on identifying trailblazers and disrupters, has selected DarkMatter for this honour. We work tirelessly to redefine the cyber security landscape through cutting-edge products, solutions and implementations that secure the data, networks and communication of our government and enterprise clients."

"As highlighted by the GEC Awards, information technology and communications platforms are continually evolving at an explosive rate, even as malicious threats grow exponentially. Our international team with some of the world's most accomplished cyber security professionals is at the forefront of recalibrating the way cyber security is viewed and implemented, and we remain committed to protecting the future by securing its technologies." 

The presentation of the award coincides with the imminent commencement of GITEX Technology Week 2016, where DarkMatter is the Cyber Security Innovation Partner. It will use the event to continue to raise the profile of cyber security with the view to placing it at the centre of digital transformation. GITEX is the largest annual ICT gathering in the Middle East, running October 16-20 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), with DarkMatter exhibiting within Zabeel Hall.
