Oman Data Park, ZainTECH forge cybersecurity partnership

Oman Data Park (ODP), the Sultanate’s first managed services and cloud provider offering secure, scalable, and locally hosted ICT solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with ZainTECH, the integrated digital solutions arm of Zain Group, to strengthen cybersecurity services across Oman and selected regional markets.

The collaboration combines Oman Data Park’s in-country infrastructure and strong understanding of national regulatory and data residency requirements with ZainTECH’s integrated cybersecurity portfolio and regional expertise. Together, the partners aim to support government and enterprise organizations in safeguarding critical data, systems, and digital operations as cyber threats continue to grow in scale and complexity.

Under the partnership, the two companies will deliver scalable cybersecurity solutions designed to support regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and operational resilience. Joint offerings will include cybersecurity advisory, implementation, and managed services, covering managed security operations, identity and access management, cloud security, continuous monitoring, incident preparedness, and resilience services. The approach blends local hosting with regional delivery capabilities to ensure compliance while accelerating deployment and time to value.

Eng Aladdin Baitfadhil, Chairman of Oman Data Park, said the partnership reinforces ODP’s commitment to providing secure, compliant, and locally hosted digital services that address evolving cybersecurity needs while supporting sustainable digital growth. Andrew Hanna, Chief Executive Officer of ZainTECH, highlighted cybersecurity as a foundational enabler of digital transformation, noting that the collaboration will help organizations reduce risk, meet compliance requirements, and build resilience across their digital environments.

Beyond service delivery, the partnership will also focus on joint innovation initiatives, knowledge-sharing programs, and specialized training to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities and support local talent development. As digital transformation accelerates, Oman Data Park and ZainTECH aim to contribute to a more secure and trusted digital ecosystem across the Sultanate and the wider region.
