Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, has appointed Rabih Itani to lead its security business development across the region. Rabih Itani is a network and security industry veteran who is tasked with helping organisations reduce risk in today’s changing threat landscape and address new and unknown threats.
Rabih is an ICT industry veteran with over 25 years of experience. Rabih enjoys a track record of leading many of the first and largest network and security deployments in the Middle East and has led this region’s first transformation effort towards mobility defined systems and processes.
He joined Aruba in early 2012 as system engineering manager for the telco sector across Middle East and Turkey and rose to manage the business in 2015. During this period, Rabih successfully engaged with leading telecommunication providers and positioned Aruba as a leader across the region in providing next generation seamless and secure public Wi-Fi hotspot services.
Aruba’s focus in the upcoming year will be to accelerate and extend its reach to organisations in need of the company’s 360 Secure Fabric by fine tuning the capabilities of Aruba’s strong channel partners and increasing market awareness of its security solutions. In parallel, as vendor partnerships and alliances are critical in the security space, Aruba will be aligning its go to market strategy with its technology alliance partners to bring together best-of-breed solutions to customers and provide an end-to-end security proposition.
“I am excited to lead Aruba’s security business in the region amidst the major challenges organisations are facing in controlling their networks and the users and devices that connect to them. We are seeing an increased interest in our security solutions as more and more organisations in the Middle East from different verticals and across all sizes are realising the importance of protecting their networks, at the internet edge as well as from inside threats. They see Aruba as a vendor that not only can provide the speeds and feeds of a LAN or a WLAN infrastructure, but also deliver a true intelligent network edge – an edge that is secured 360 degrees,” says Rabih Itani, Regional Business Development Manager Security, Middle East and Turkey at Aruba.
