With a solid foundation in the Middle East, GCC, and Southeast Asia, PROW is now looking to enter African markets, focusing on major projects within both the public and private sectors, particularly in cybersecurity, information security, and data management.

Roland Hashem, Managing Director at PROW, emphasized the company’s commitment to partnering with local entities to deliver state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions. "Our mission is to deploy top-notch expertise and cutting-edge solutions in high-growth markets like Africa," Hashem stated.
