CPX Holding, an Abu-Dhabi based provider of cyber and physical security solutions, is partnering with Microsoft to support governments in enhancing their cybersecurity in the era of AI.

The collaboration aligns with G42 and Microsoft’s broader mission to promote secure and responsible AI deployment.

It combines Microsoft’s security operations platform with generative AI and CPX’s cyber defence expertise to strengthen security and operational efficiency for public sector organisations.

With increasingly complex cyber threats, public institutions face significant pressure to protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data.

The partnership aims to deliver AI-powered solutions that improve cyber defences, support digital transformation, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

This includes integrating Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Security Exposure Management, and generative AI into a unified security portal, while leveraging CPX’s experience in operating nationwide Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to help institutions predict, prevent, and respond to threats in real time.

Together, CPX and Microsoft aim to assist governments worldwide in creating secure, modern digital environments.

“This collaboration represents a pivotal moment for us to redefine cybersecurity through the transformative power of generative AI. Together with Microsoft, we are establishing a new benchmark for digital security and operational excellence in the public sector. Building on the success of milestone projects delivered nationally, we now look to scale these achievements globally as part of our Securing Nations program,” said Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX.

“Together, we are building a future where governments can confidently embrace digital transformation, secure in the knowledge that their operations and data are protected by the very best in technology and expertise,”

said Mark Chaban, Corporate Vice President, EMEA Customer and Partner Solutions, Microsoft.

The partnership aims to enable governments to pursue AI-driven digital transformation while maintaining the security and integrity of their operations and data.
