Secucloud signs agency agreement with Impulse Int’l, an NTEC subsidiary, a fully owned company by Kuwait sovereign investment fund

The combination of broader digital technology adoption, networked telecom services and a high standard of living makes Gulf states like Kuwait a very attractive target for cyber-criminals. This is amplified by the fact that the implementation of an appropriate level of security has taken something of a back seat there, both on the state and private enterprise levels. To give internet users powerful and future-proof protection against these threats, NTEC, a fully owned company by the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), signed an agency agreement through its fully owned subsidiary Impulse Int’l, with the German IT security provider Secucloud at the end of February. The support from NTEC will enable the cloud security specialist to expand the adoption of its protection solution in the Gulf growth markets.
Within the scope of the agency agreement, Impulse will arrange contacts between Secucloud and the telecoms providers in the Gulf region and present Secucloud’s innovative security concept to them. Meetings are already planned with two well-known Kuwaiti telcos.
