ACET Solutions, a global operational technology (OT) cybersecurity company, and Avanceon, a leading regional automation and industrial technology provider, have formed an exclusive strategic partnership to expand OT cybersecurity resilience across the Middle East and South Asia.
Under this partnership, both companies will operate as exclusive partners, bringing together 40+ years of industrial experience and deep OT cybersecurity expertise with automation capabilities and an established regional presence.
“Stronger together for OT cybersecurity resilience” is the guiding principle behind formalizing the alliance, reflecting a shared commitment to helping organizations move beyond reactive security toward proactive, integrated protection of the systems that power critical industries.
"Industrial transformation is no longer only about automation, connectivity, and intelligence—it must also be about resilience and trust. As industries across the Middle East and South Asia become increasingly connected, protecting the operational technology that runs their most critical assets has become an immediate strategic imperative. For our international clients and partners, this alliance represents a stronger regional platform, a single point of accountability, and a shared commitment to ensuring that innovation never comes at the expense of security"
"This is a significant step forward in our mission to secure the industrial facilities and critical infrastructure against cyber threats. By joining forces with Avanceon, we're able to bring together specialized OT cybersecurity expertise with Avanceon’s automation capabilities and strong regional presence, giving industrial asset owners across the Middle East and Pakistan a stronger, more unified path to resilience.”
The collaboration focused on direct expansion into two priority regions: the GCC, where industrial digital transformation initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 are accelerating investment in secure, connected infrastructure; and Pakistan, where growing industrial and energy sectors are increasingly prioritizing operational technology security as a strategic imperative.
Industrial transformation is reshaping how businesses operate, compete and create sustained value, making security and resilience fundamental to the next phase of industrial growth. As industries become increasingly connected and digitally enabled, protecting the operational environments that power critical infrastructure has become a strategic priority. Our partnership with ACET Solutions brings together Avanceon’s deep expertise in industrial automation and digitalization with ACET’s specialized OT cybersecurity capabilities, enabling us to address the evolving needs of modern industry with greater confidence, continuity and resilience. Together, we are creating new opportunities for innovation and growth while helping our customers build secure, intelligent and future-ready operations. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of advancing digital progress and cybersecurity together, building a stronger foundation for sustainable growth and long-term value.
“The future of industrial operations depends on the successful convergence of automation, connectivity, and cybersecurity. This partnership creates a unique platform that will help industrial organizations build secure, resilient, and future-ready operations while unlocking new opportunities for innovation, growth, and operational excellence.”
Through this alliance, Avanceon and ACET Solutions deliver a unified OT cybersecurity and industrial automation portfolio, covering everything from identification, protection, detection, response, recovery, governance, and compliance to managed security operations. Together, they provide a single point of engagement for organizations seeking to secure and modernize their operations simultaneously.
" As industries accelerate digitalization, OT data, analytics, and AI/ML adoption, securing critical industrial environments has become increasingly important. Together, Avanceon and ACET can provide an end-to-end value proposition from automation and digitalization to cybersecurity and resilience. This collaboration gives both companies a strong competitive advantage, addresses the growing cybersecurity needs of the Middle East and regional industries, and creates new opportunities for market expansion, business growth, and recurring revenue. Together, we are combining OT expertise with cybersecurity to build a more secure and future-ready industrial ecosystem"
“This partnership brings together two complementary strengths to help industries across Pakistan and the Middle East build more secure and resilient operations. By combining Avanceon’s automation expertise and regional presence with ACET’s OT cybersecurity capabilities, we can deliver greater value to customers while creating new opportunities for both companies to grow and lead in secure industrial transformation.”
Large-scale industrial enterprises gain a single point of accountability for OT security and automation, while mid-market organizations gain streamlined access to enterprise-grade solutions tailored to their scale.
