Yashaan Cooper, the Regional Manager for the Middle East and Africa at Galaxkey, speaks about the company’s participation at GITEX 2021
Are you participating in GITEX 2021? If yes, which products and solutions will you be showcasing at GITEX Technology Week?
Yes, we are participating at GITEX for the first time and we will be showcasing the entire Galaxkey data security platform that offers:
- Email encryption and control
- File/folder encryption and secure sharing
- Secure workspace
- Secure electronic document signing
It is one of the most holistic solutions addressing security requirements across all unstructured data in the organizations – email, file/folder, workspace, electronic document signing.
What are your expectations from the event this year?
We are looking forward to increased customer and partner engagement through face-to-face meetings. While our business has grown over the last couple of years, we miss this aspect – the energy, candid in-person inputs, and just meeting industry peers and friends from across the region.
Do you hope for a business relief from the event?
Yes indeed, we expect the positive business sentiment to kick in with this event as the convergence of so many customer and channel partner stakeholders itself is very promising. With GITEX coinciding with Expo 2020, we anticipate this year to be even bigger.
Dubai has been taking well-thought-through and excellent steps for opening business – this optimistic environment in itself holds a big promise for business growth.
What will be your theme of participation at GITEX?
Extremely secure yet simple, comprehensive, and cost-effective protection for your data – that’s what we are going to talk about in a nutshell.
Do you plan to run any online engagements such as webinars alongside GITEX?
Yes, we are running a series of webinars with our partner AmiViz, where we are bringing together leading IT and InfoSec professionals to talk about the latest challenges and solution ideas in the domain. It will be very valuable for everyone to hear the views of these experienced professionals.
How have your regional strategies changed in recent months?
Customer First – is our core strategy and that will always continue to guide us.
We are augmenting this further by investing majorly in increasing our market reach – channel partnerships and marketing initiatives. We are also introducing our much appreciated educational CSR program in the region (we have already signed an MOU with a leading university in Dubai and talk with a few more).
Any other info you would like to add?
We are offering a free 30-day trial license to qualified customers who want to test Galaxkey capabilities in their environment at no cost.
