DarkMatter, the international cyber security firm headquartered in the UAE, will debut its capabilities targeting the Defence sector at the upcoming International Defence Exhibition and Conference, IDEX 2017, in Abu Dhabi.

Taking place from 19-23 February, 2017 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, DarkMatter will launch its RF Jamming solutions, and Command, Control and Monitoring platforms, while for the first time showcasing the extension of its Cyber Network Defence, Big Data and Analytics, and Secure Communications capabilities for the Defence sector.

DarkMatter will also highlight how its Test and Validation Laboratories, Crypto, Managed Security Services, and Infrastructure and Systems Integration capabilities are all working in unison to further heighten national security.

Faisal Al Bannai, Founder and CEO of DarkMatter said, "It is abundantly clear that robust cyber security defences are becoming as important to national security as standing armies and military hardware, if not more so. The expansion of DarkMatter’s capabilities into this strategically significant area builds on our outlook to secure nations, enterprise, and individuals from cyber threats in order to establish an overall standard of national cyber resilience and safety."

IDEX is the only international defence exhibition and conference in the MENA region demonstrating the latest technologies across land, sea and air targeted at the defence sector.

With expenditure on defence in the Middle East estimated to run at over US$100 billion annually, IDEX offers a unique platform to establish and strengthen relationships with government departments, businesses and armed forces throughout the region.
