This cybersecurity firm is the first Bahraini organization to join the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams

CTM360®, a leading cybersecurity firm in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has been accepted as a full member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). The company is the first private company from the Kingdom of Bahrain and across the Middle East to be accepted as a FIRST member.

FIRST remains a leading global network for Cyber Incident Response and is a recognized platform for security teams. Currently consisting of 414 teams worldwide, this network enables security teams to closely coordinate and track evolving threats from a consolidated platform.

On achieving this feat, CTM360’s CEO, Mr. Mirza Asrar Baig stated “A remarkable achievement in a short span of time; CTM360 continues to push as a high-achiever in the cybersecurity space. We expect FIRST to add a new dimension to our capabilities and in turn, are eager to contribute to this global platform. As the very first entity from the Kingdom of Bahrain to be included in this network is a honor; we seek to make Bahrain a shining beacon for cybersecurity and technology innovation on an international level.”

“As cybersecurity has become a global issue, the need for agility, innovation, and determination insecurity has grown tremendously. Constant vigilance and secure practices in the cloud will help secure organizations and individuals. Going forward, it will remain crucial for security teams across the Middle East to focus on these aspects to achieve true cyber resilience,” Mirza stated.

CTM360 was gauged across multiple competencies in its security practice and granted membership after careful review. The FIRST membership qualification process relies on nominations from two existing members of FIRST sponsors, followed by a detailed audit process and approval by the FIRST Steering Committee.
