Xona Systems Strengthens Cybersecurity Presence in Europe and Middle East Markets
Xona Systems, a prominent player in secure access solutions for critical infrastructures, has recently made headlines with its strategic expansion into the Middle Eastern market while building upon its success in Europe. This initiative is designed to address the growing demand for robust cybersecurity solutions from organizations dependent on operational technology (OT) and cloud environments.
Expanding into the Middle East: A Strategic Move
With the increasing frequency of cyber threats targeting critical sectors, Xona Systems is acting on its mission to deliver vital cybersecurity capabilities to Middle Eastern organizations. According to Paul Wood, General Manager of EMEA APAC at Xona, the expansion is a direct response to the heightened perils faced in the region's critical infrastructure.
“We are expanding our focus in the EMEA region,” Wood states. “The demand for cybersecurity solutions that cater specifically to critical infrastructure continues to rise, and our objective is to enhance public safety through secure access.”
The newly formed team in the Middle East is now operational, focusing on supporting clients across multiple countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. By providing local resources, Xona aims to ensure organizations can mitigate cyber threats effectively and manage critical operations from anywhere with a renewed sense of confidence.
Key Features and Capabilities of Xona's Secure Access Platform
The Xona secure access platform is tailored to facilitate quick and secure access to crucial systems anytime and anywhere. This advanced solution integrates modern multi-factor authentication (MFA), granular system authorization, protocol isolation, and encrypted browser-based sessions, complete with session logging and recording. Xona is designed not only to optimize operational security but also to align with essential compliance frameworks like NIST, NERC CIP, and ISA/IEC.
Highlights of Xona’s Middle Eastern Expansion

Addressing Rising Cyber Threats
Manu Nair from Oregon Systems remarked on the alarming rise of cyber-attacks against critical infrastructures in the region, highlighting the operational risks posed by distributed and remote work environments. The consequences of such attacks can severely disrupt essential services and operations, which Xona aims to combat by providing greater control over access and protecting against vulnerabilities associated with insecure transient endpoints.
As organizations strive to safeguard their critical infrastructures, Xona Systems is dedicated to leading the charge in cybersecurity solutions tailored specifically for the needs of the Middle East. Through continued innovation and local engagement, Xona is committed to improving the security posture of its clients while ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory standards.
