Dubai, UAE, June, 2026 – Al-Futtaim Technologies, part of Al-Futtaim Contracting, has announced a strategic partnership with AIShield, further expanding its cybersecurity portfolio to address the growing need for securing enterprise AI ecosystems amidst a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
\nThe collaboration reflects the growing importance of protecting AI systems as organisations increasingly integrate AI\/ML and Generative AI technologies into critical business operations. Moving beyond traditional cybersecurity models and product resale agreements, Al-Futtaim Technologies is redefining the industry\u2019s shift from \u201cAI for Security\u201d to \u201cSecurity for AI\u201d through a strategic cybersecurity capability extension focused on securing the entire AI lifecycle, from development and testing to deployment and runtime monitoring, enabling businesses to adopt AI more safely, responsibly, and resiliently.
\nThrough the integration of AIShield\u2019s capabilities into Al-Futtaim Technologies\u2019 cybersecurity portfolio, organisations will be able to strengthen protection against emerging AI-specific threats including model extraction, adversarial attacks, prompt injection, and other vulnerabilities impacting AI and GenAI systems. With advanced runtime protection capabilities, Al-Futtaim Technologies and AIShield are helping enterprises continuously monitor and secure AI models during operation while integrating seamlessly with wider enterprise security ecosystems such as SIEM, WAF, DLP, SOC, and XDR environments.
\nAs regional businesses increasingly navigate complex AI governance and compliance requirements, this initiative also supports alignment with leading global frameworks and standards including OWASP AI security standards, MITRE ATLAS, and emerging AI regulatory readiness initiatives such as the EU AI Act.
\nCommenting on the partnership, Razi Hamada, General Manager at Al-Futtaim Technologies, said: \u201cWith AI rapidly becoming embedded across enterprise operations, organisations are facing an entirely new category of cybersecurity risks. Through our work with AIShield, we are helping businesses strengthen trust, resilience, and governance across their AI environments by securing the full AI lifecycle, from development to deployment and beyond. This reflects our commitment to staying ahead of evolving cybersecurity challenges while enabling organisations to innovate with confidence.\u201d

Built on its \u201cPartners of Possibilities\u201d framework, the company collaborates with leading global technology providers to deliver secure, scalable, and future-ready digital solutions that enhance connectivity, operational efficiency, and business resilience across increasingly complex environments.
