Rabat – Moroccan cybersecurity company LMPS Group announced today launching the first 100% Moroccan cyberdefense product for companies and public organizations.
Called “Managed Detection & Response” (MDR), the new product is backed with artificial intelligence, making it relatively autonomous, LMPS said in a press release.
The new product aims to help companies overcome the issue of shortage of skilled labor in cybersecurity, the company explained, adding that its main goal and hope is to democratize access to cutting-edge technology and reduce Morocco’s dependence on outsourced digital solutions.
“We are happy to contribute, on our modest scale, to the development of national sovereignty at the digital level,” said Amine Hilmi, CEO of LMPS Group.
“We are convinced that LMPS will play a key role in raising user awareness and responding to the challenges of protecting data and the infrastructures of organizations through the use of the best global technologies in cybersecurity, now available in Morocco through LMPS,” he added.
Founded in 2007, LMPS Group is the first pan-African cybersecurity firm with over 200 clients across 15 countries. The group has offices in both Morocco and France.
The world has witnessed an unprecedented spike in cyberattacks over the past two years. In 2020, the World Bank declared cyber attacks as the fifth risk for governments and companies worldwide.
Following the COVID-19 outbreak, cyberattacks grew by 600%, according to some estimates.
