Oman Data Park, ZainTECH forge cybersecurity partnership

Oman Data Park (ODP), the Sultanate’s first managed services and cloud provider, 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 deep understanding of national regulatory and data residency requirements with ZainTECH’s regional cybersecurity portfolio and expertise. Together, the two organizations aim to help government and enterprise customers protect critical data, systems, and digital operations amid an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.

Under the partnership, ODP and ZainTECH will deliver scalable, compliant cybersecurity solutions that support risk mitigation and operational resilience. Joint offerings will include advisory, implementation, and managed services such as managed security operations, identity and access management, cloud security, continuous monitoring, incident preparedness, and resilience services.

By integrating locally hosted infrastructure with regional delivery capabilities, the partnership ensures regulatory compliance while accelerating deployment and time to value for customers.

Eng. Aladdin Baitfadhil, Chairman of Oman Data Park, said cybersecurity is a critical pillar of digital trust and national transformation. He noted that the partnership reinforces ODP’s commitment to delivering secure, compliant, and locally hosted digital services that support sustainable digital growth.

Andrew Hanna, Chief Executive Officer of ZainTECH, said cybersecurity has become a foundational enabler of digital transformation, particularly in highly regulated environments. He added that combining ODP’s in-country infrastructure with ZainTECH’s integrated security services will help organizations reduce risk, meet compliance requirements, and build resilience across their digital operations.

Beyond service delivery, the partnership will also drive joint innovation initiatives, knowledge-sharing programs, and specialized training to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities and develop local talent.

As digital transformation accelerates, Oman Data Park and ZainTECH are working together to build a more secure and trusted digital ecosystem, enabling organizations to innovate while safeguarding critical assets and maintaining regulatory compliance
