Dubai,UAE,17 September 2026:
Paramount Assure,a UAE-headquarteredcybersecuritycompany,todayannounced a partnership with Security Bridge, a specialist in SAP cybersecurity, to help organisationsacross the GCC strengthen protection of their SAP environments and bring SAP security intelligence intotheir wider cyber defence operations. The partnership was signed at GISEC 2026 in Hall 3 atSecurityBridge’s stand by Neeti Rodrigues, Chief of International Sales at Paramount Assure, andChristoph Nagy, Co-founder of SecurityBridge.
The collaboration comes as enterprises face growing pressure to protect the systems behind their mostcritical operations. IBM’s 2026 Report found that the average cost of a data breach for organisations inthe Middle East reached $8 million, with excessive privileges, poor role management and difficultyprioritising threats among the leading factors increasing breach costs. For many organisations, SAPremains one of the most business-critical systems in their technology environment, but it is not alwaysvisible enough within day-to-day cybersecurity operations.
Many enterprises already have security teams, monitoring platforms and access controls in place, butthese tools do not always show whether critical SAP patches are missing, custom code introduces risk,configurations are secure, or suspicious activity is part of a wider attack. This creates a gap between SAPteams and cybersecurity teams at a time when attackers are moving faster, and business systems aremore connected.
Through the partnership, SecurityBridge will provide real-time visibility and contextual SAP securityintelligence, while Paramount will bring its cybersecurity expertise, SOC capabilities, regionalimplementation experience and local customer support. Together, the companies will help customersidentifySAPvulnerabilities,monitorrisk,investigatesuspiciousactivityandconnectSAPsecurityinsightswith their wider cybersecurity programme.

Organisations across the GCC can engage Paramount to assess their SAP security posture, understandvisibility gaps and explore how SecurityBridge can integrate into their existing cybersecurity operations.The companies will support customers through consultation, implementation and ongoing securityoperations support, helping them build stronger protection around SAP without treating it as a separateor isolated security function.
