AI-Powered Dark Web Monitoring Solutions Premier At GITEX 2021
MENA organizations are especially vulnerable because of their geopolitical position and importance to the world economy in several key industries.
The cybersecurity landscape has changed dramatically since the outbreak of the pandemic. Many organizations have embraced the hybrid work model as the new normal, allowing their employees to divide their work time between the office and home.
As a result, the traditional network perimeter has dissolved, leaving organizations more vulnerable to cyber threats, which are becoming not only more frequent but also more sophisticated. MENA organizations are especially vulnerable because of their geopolitical position and importance to the world economy in several key industries, such as the oil industry.
Recently, Los Angeles-based cybersecurity company Resecurity has introduced its Dark Web Monitoring and Threat Intelligence solutions at GITEX 2021, which took place at the Dubai World Trade Center, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“Resecurity’s mission is to protect enterprises of any size, market vertical and in any geography,” said Ayman Alshobaki, Resecurity’s Business Development Manager for the MENA region. “Resecurity is excited to tap into the fantastic networking and innovative atmosphere at Gitex 2021, allowing us to build new business alliances and accelerate market presence and channel sales”.

The new solutions leverage big data analytics and artificial intelligence to provide visibility into the global threat landscape, helping organizations mitigate risks coming from the darkest corners of the internet, which are commonly referred to as the dark web.
The main defining feature of the dark web is the fact it’s completely invisible to most internet users because it can be accessed only using specialized software, such as Tor, which also provides anonymity, something cybercriminals value deeply.
Equipped with Resecurity’s Dark Web Monitoring solutions, organizations in the MENA region and the rest of the world are much less likely to suffer a costly data breach, whose average cost has reached $4.24 million per incident — the highest in the last 17 years.

AltoVolo Opens Orders For Limited Edition Sigma eVTOLs
Early buyers can now reserve build slots for AltoVolo’s 500-mile hybrid aircraft through a new online configurator.
AltoVolo has started taking pre-orders for its first electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the Sigma, moving the startup closer to commercial rollout. Customers can now secure a build slot with a £860 deposit and customize every detail online — from paintwork to seatbelt stitching. It’s the first configurator of its kind for a civilian eVTOL, mirroring how luxury car brands let clients tailor performance models before production.
The Sigma runs on a hybrid-electric tilting jet system built for long range and low noise. It can travel up to 500 miles at a 220-mph cruise, and is over 80% quieter than a helicopter. The three-seater weighs just 980kg and can maintain stable flight even if one jet fails. Safety systems include triple-redundant controls, thrust-vectoring stability and a ballistic parachute.
“We will be delivering an ultra-refined hybrid electric aircraft,” said founder and CEO Will Wood. “We believe there are thousands of customers for this type of cutting-edge technology”.
The first 100 units will come with exclusive materials and finishes. AltoVolo is also setting up a global service and maintenance network, with early planning for overhaul schedules already underway. The company’s focus on ownership experience echoes its ambition to anchor itself alongside established aviation brands rather than pure tech ventures.
To help new owners train, the company has built a full-scale simulator that replicates the Sigma cockpit in carbon fiber and leather. Pilots can log time toward a license using the system, aligned with the new US MOSAIC rules that ease certification for powered-lift aircraft. Certification work in Europe and the UK continues in parallel, signaling growing international alignment around light sport and eVTOL regulation.

Noise inside the cabin has become another design focus. Engineers are refining internal vibration levels and developing a responsive soundscape that shifts with each jet’s power load — part feedback, part theatre.
Urban air mobility projects across the Gulf and elsewhere are pushing regulators and manufacturers to meet in the middle. Dubai, Riyadh and Doha have each outlined plans for air taxi corridors this decade. AltoVolo’s hybrid Sigma, sitting between electric promise and aviation realism, looks built for that middle ground.
