Shieldworkz in den Top-Nachrichtenausgaben der VAE vorgestellt
Deckt führende Nachrichtenquellen der VAE ab, darunter Abaq Alemarat, UAE Analyst, Pro Khaleej, Behedua, Jawab Arabi und viele andere.
Abu Dhabi - November 6, 2025
Abu Dhabi [VAE], 23. Mai 2025 – Shieldworkz, ein globaler Innovator in der Betriebstechnologie (OT) Cybersicherheit, hat heute eine bedeutende Erweiterung seines Portfolios für die Sicherheit von Cyber-Physischen Systemen (CPS) angekündigt. Der Schritt erfolgt als Reaktion auf die zunehmende Komplexität von cyber-physischen Bedrohungen, striktere regulatorische Rahmenbedingungen und die wachsende Kundennachfrage nach der Verwaltung der Sicherheitslage in Echtzeit.
As manufacturers, utilities and critical infrastructure adopt AI to boost efficiency and competitiveness, the OT environment is becoming more connected - and, with that, more exposed. DataNet’s coverage draws on Shieldworkz analysis to show that while AI promises operational gains, it also multiplies blind spots, widens supply-chain risk, and elevates the consequences of unpatched or neglected assets. The piece underscores a simple truth: OT innovation must be inseparable from security. (Featured in DataNet, November 2025.)

Umfangreiche Abdeckung In den UAE-Medien
Abaq Alemarat, das die KI-gesteuerte Lückenanalyse von Shieldworkz als „einen Game-Changer für industrielle Betreiber“ hervorhob.
VAE-Analyst, der die automatisierten Risiko-Management-Tools des Unternehmens lobt, weil sie „einen neuen Maßstab in der Reduzierung von OT-Risiken setzen.“
Pro Khaleej, und stellt fest, dass „Die verbesserten Fähigkeiten zur Posture-Verwaltung von Shieldworkz den Organisationen in den VAE helfen werden, die neuen NIS2-Anforderungen zu erfüllen und zu übertreffen.“
Behedua, unterstreicht die Bedeutung einer kontinuierlichen Überwachung in kritischen Infrastrukturen.
Actionable remediation is possible. Prioritising high-risk systems, embedding secure-by-design practices, and closing IT-OT gaps reduce exposure without disrupting operations.

Shieldworkz perspective
“AI offers enormous operational upside for industry, but it also increases the attack surface and the speed at which threats can cause real-world damage,” said Shieldworkz leadership. “Security needs to be built into AI and OT programs from day one - not bolted on afterwards. That means practical lifecycle controls, continuous monitoring tuned for OT telemetry, and a realistic program to close capability gaps where they exist.”
Shieldworkz’ contribution to the DataNet report included field data showing that many OT organisations have restructured IT-OT collaboration but still lack formal incident response programs and the specialist skills needed to operate them safely. These gaps create windows of opportunity that sophisticated actors and commodity malware both exploit.
Why this matters now
Industrial systems control processes that affect public safety, energy supply, water treatment, manufacturing yields and transport. A successful compromise is more than a data breach: it can cause operational outages, equipment damage and even risk to human life. The DataNet coverage - supported by Shieldworkz analysis - argues that national resilience, commercial continuity and public trust require OT security to be treated as an equal partner in digital transformation initiatives.
Practical steps for leaders
Map and prioritise assets. Build an accurate, inventory-driven view of assets and rank them by safety and business impact.
Adopt risk-based patching and compensating controls. When downtime for patches is infeasible, use network segmentation, virtual patching and stricter access controls.
Integrate IT-OT processes. Formalise collaboration, change management and incident response across teams to reduce blind spots.
Harden supply-chain governance. Vet third-party modules, insist on secure development practices, and monitor vendor telemetry.
Invest in people and playbooks. Close skills gaps with targeted training, tabletop exercises and managed OT security services where internal expertise is limited.
Use OT-aware detection and response. Implement monitoring that understands industrial protocols and telemetry anomalies, not just IT indicators.
