Building the Backbone of a Post-Oil Future
When Qatar unveiled its National Vision 2030, the message was unambiguous: the country’s hydrocarbon windfall would not last forever, and it intended to be ready. Fifteen years later, that vision has translated into one of the most ambitious infrastructure buildouts in the Gulf. With it, a security and safety market that has quietly become essential to the entire enterprise.

The numbers tell part of the story. In 2025, the Qatari government allocated USD 57.75 billion to infrastructure expenditure, a 4.6% year-on-year increase that signals continuing momentum across transport, energy, and urban development. Oil revenues, meanwhile, now account for 78% of projected income, down from 82% just two years ago. It is now completely clear that diversification is not merely aspirational but actively underway.
Yet what distinguishes Qatar’s approach is not the scale of investment alone, but its underlying philosophy: security and safety systems are treated not as compliance afterthoughts, but as foundational enablers of modernization itself.
After the FIFA 2022 World Cup ended, Qatar used the infrastructure as a stepping stone for further developments. Following huge transportation, communication, digital, and other investments, the country continued to expand capacity and operational capabilities, sustaining demand for integrated screening, perimeter protection, and command-and-control upgrades. For security vendors and integrators, this constellation points to predictable, multi-year demand rather than event-driven spikes.
Underpinning all of this is Qatar’s push toward a connected, data-driven state. The TASMU Smart Qatar program catalogs over a hundred digital use cases across priority sectors, promoting shared platforms that accelerate service delivery and demand interoperability across video, access control, fire/life-safety, and OT sensor networks. End users are no longer simply buying hardware; they are prioritizing systems that integrate into centralized command centers, support cloud and hybrid architectures, and remain auditable and maintainable in one of the world’s harshest operating climates.
This is the context in which Qatar’s security and safety market now operates: policy continuity under QNV2030, premium infrastructure requiring lifecycle protection, and a structured digital transformation that rewards platforms over point solutions. The sections that follow examine how these dynamics are shaping market performance, vertical activity, technology adoption, and the outlook for the sector.
Diversification Boosts Growth of the Security and Safety Market
Qatar’s economy remains underpinned by a strong fiscal base, enabling sustained investment in infrastructure and enabling sectors, both of which drive the security and safety market. In 2025, the Qatari government allocated USD 57.75 billion to expenditures aimed at infrastructure, marking a 4.6 % increase year on year. The capital outlay signals continuing momentum in large-scale projects, from road networks and urban redevelopment to energy facilities and transport hubs.
Further, macro-economic data suggest that diversification efforts are underway: oil revenues are projected to account for 78 % of total projected revenues in 2025, down from 82 % in 2023, reinforcing the push into non-oil sectors such as infrastructure, services, and technology. Sargunan Sellamuthu, Business Development Manager for the Middle East in fire-safety solutions company Advanced, stresses that Qatar’s fire and life safety market continues to advance in line with the nation’s Vision 2030, driven by substantial investments across healthcare, education, commercial, and residential developments. “Qatar Civil Defense is among the most advanced authorities in the GCC, actively adopting new technologies such as wireless fire alarm systems and prioritizing international best practices,” he says.
These are critical for the security and safety market: large infrastructure builds demand for integrated surveillance, access control, lifecycle safety systems, as well as cyber-physical protection. Meanwhile, non-oil sector growth means more commercial buildings, logistics hubs, and smart city deployments – all of which raise the profile of security investments. According to the market report overview by 6wresearch, the Qatar security services market is expected to grow strongly by 2031, with the construction and infrastructure sector cited as a key contributor.
Operationally, throughput indicators at critical nodes remain strong. Hamad International Airport also marks a steep increase in passengers (up 15% YoY), aircraft movements (+10%), and cargo (+12%). Such volumes sustain demand for large-scale screening, perimeter, terminal safety, and command-and-control upgrades.
Smart and Critical Infrastructure as Key Drivers
Several interlinked forces are driving growth in Qatar’s security and safety segment. First, the drive for smart national infrastructure (transport, utilities, buildings, and city services) has pushed demand for advanced security systems. “In Qatar, where mixed-use spaces and remote developments are growing in popularity, we have seen an increase in the demand for flexible, high-integrity fire detection systems to meet the needs of these complex constructions,” underlines James Morrison, Regional Sales Manager at Hochiki. He explains that the environment has matured to the point where compliance and innovation are essential, stressing that growth is especially evident in areas where protecting people and assets is non-negotiable, such as hospitality, healthcare, and education.
For example, the adoption of cyber security as a growth vector is evidenced by market size estimates: the cyber security market in Qatar was estimated to grow at nearly 13% percent year over year, reaching over US $1.6 billion by 2026. This digital security growth reflects the broader convergence of physical and cyber security.
Additionally, Qatar continues investment in critical infrastructure, such as ports, rail, subway, and energy facilities (The North Field expansion program), which creates persistent demand for traditional security: access control, perimeter defense, surveillance, fire and life safety systems, as well as emergency management. According to GCC Business Watch, the infrastructure market in Qatar is forecast to reach US$41.3 billion by 2030.
Regulatory and operational imperatives are sharpening demand. The Gulf climate imposes harsh operational conditions (heat, dust) that require resilient, reliable safety equipment. At the same time, regulatory compliance and risk mitigation (especially in areas like oil and gas and industrial logistics) are forcing entities to upgrade legacy systems.
Finally, global event legacies, such as the FIFA World Cup 2022, and the accompanying attention on safety, security, and public-event infrastructure, have left a legacy of heightened expectations. These combined forces ensure that the security and safety market is not just project-based, but moving into lifecycle upgrade and system-replacement mode.
Qatar’s Strategic Focus on Creating a Resilient and Secure Environment
Ashok Warrier, Regional Business Manager from Panduit, points out that Qatar wants to be recognized among the safest and most secure nations globally, while ensuring an exceptional quality of life for both citizens and visitors. Stressing the importance of a proactive approach, he notes it all boils down to continuous modernization and system upgrades: “We note that Qatar, as an early adopter, uses advanced technologies to stay one step ahead of ever-evolving threats. This commitment reflects the country’s strategic focus on creating a resilient and secure environment that also supports its broader economic and digital transformation goals.”
Main Investment in Infrastructure, Energy, and Digital
Companies operating around infrastructure security, industrial safety solutions, cyber and physical convergence, as well as systems integration, are especially well-positioned in Qatar’s market.
Thomas Deville, IDtech’s General Manager for the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, explains that the post-World Cup period has brought a slowdown, as Qatar works to regain economic momentum and restore investor confidence after a period of turbulence. “In this evolving context, the next wave of growth in the security and safety sector will likely stem from carefully planned, strategically monitored investments led by key Ministries and state-owned enterprises – ensuring that modernization continues in line with the nation’s long-term vision,” he concludes.
In terms of where the largest investments are flowing, three clusters stand out. One is the infrastructure and transport sector: Qatar’s 2025 budget emphasizes expansion of high-quality roads, large-scale construction developments, and urban facility upgrades. For stakeholders in the security and safety industry, this means major contracts around airports, metro systems, ports, and highways where large-scale access, surveillance, and safety systems are required.
Another cluster is energy and industrial infrastructure. The country’s big LNG expansion and petrochemical builds necessitate high-specification safety, perimeter defense, industrial-cybersecurity integration, and health, safety, and environment (HSE) systems. According to a Nexdigm market research, the infrastructure construction market in Qatar is valued at USD 65.7 billion in 2024 with a projected CAGR of ~10.2 % to 2030.
Additionally, investment in the digital domain has increased considerably, especially in cybersecurity, IoT, analytics, and integrated command systems. As noted, the cybersecurity market is growing at double-digit rates. Moreover, national-level programs such as the TASMU Smart Qatar initiative emphasize platform-based deployments (cyber, IoT, command centers) that require layered investment across hardware, software, and services.
Smart Transport and Energy in Focus
Hamad International Airport (HIA) has been one of the most technologically advanced airports in this part of the world for some time now. It is the first airport in the region introducing C2/CT technology that allows many passengers to leave electronics in their bags, while maintaining the highest aviation security standards. This smart security concept depends not only on CT scanners but also on tightly managed access control for staff and secure areas, high-resolution video surveillance across terminals, and resilient network and storage platforms capable of handling large volumes of security data. Its progress might be described as centered on new checkpoint technologies and backend data infrastructure.
Ashok Warrier from Panduit underlines that technologies such as perimeter intrusion detection using fiber optic and hybrid systems, as well as AI-driven traffic management, are seeing strong adoption in airports, ports, and smart mobility initiatives. “From Panduit’s perspective, these technology trends represent tremendous opportunities. Our approach is to work closely with multiple stakeholders — especially end users — to understand their requirements and provide state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions.”
Rail and port projects provide another clear window into how Qatar invests in integrated security. Large transport and maritime logistics projects in Qatar routinely bundle access control, IP video, critical network infrastructure, and perimeter security into single, integrated safety and security packages. Doha Metro is relying on an advanced system that has been relying on signaling, telecommunications, and security systems, passenger services, a fully integrated operational control center, and automatic fare collection, which inherently includes networked CCTV, access-controlled areas, and station communication systems tied into a central command room. In parallel, Qatar’s new Hamad Port, being one of the world’s largest greenfield ports, has an integrated solution featuring a video surveillance system, access control system, and IT communication network, all supervised by a dedicated security command-and-control center.
The North Field Expansion program, aimed at boosting QatarEnergy’s output by some 85% by 2030, stands out as the core industrial driver of safety and security demand. Public project descriptions emphasize the unprecedented scale of onshore gas-processing trains, offshore platforms, and associated utilities being built around the North Field gas reserves. Such LNG complexes, by necessity, depend on automated and layered process-safety systems, fire and gas detection, explosion-proof and thermal video surveillance, industrial-grade access control for hazardous zones, and OT-secure network backbones that link field equipment to central control rooms.
One of the players in the oil and gas sector is IDtech, which has been designing and deploying tailored access control solutions for major regional energy companies as well as several high-profile ministries. “Our strongest demand came from projects requiring modernization of existing systems without disrupting ongoing operations,” says Thomas Deville, adding that three key factors have driven the success of his company in Qatar: flexibility of their technology, high level of built-in cybersecurity protection, and long-term commitment.
“Qatar has made remarkable progress in implementing enterprise-grade security infrastructure and is now recognized as one of the leading countries globally in physical security systems — spanning networks, VMS, surveillance cameras, access control, and more.” — Adel Mrabet, Velasea
High-Demand Verticals: Centralized Control as Necessity
Taken together, these projects highlight four verticals where activity is most intense. The energy and industrial vertical is anchored by the North Field program, which has been described as the world’s largest gas field, comprising over 14% of the global gas reserves. The expansion program is set to introduce new offshore wells and infrastructure, including wellhead platforms, pipelines, and onshore facilities, substantially increasing the field’s production capabilities. Such huge developments require resilient industrial access control, secure OT networks, hazard-rated CCTV, and SIL-rated fire and gas systems to meet both international and national safety norms.
The aviation vertical, centered on HIA, remains a heavy consumer of high-end checkpoint technology, perimeter security, and terminal safety systems. HIA’s adoption of CT-based C2 screening solutions and its investment in modernized CCTV storage explicitly point to continued demand for biometric and credential-based access control, large-scale IP video systems, high-availability network and storage infrastructure, and integrated fire/life-safety systems in airside and landside facilities. In collaboration with Airport Council International (ACI), the airport launched a Smart Data Hub initiative to enhance data-driven operations, interoperability, and analytics in airport operations. This is a clear signal that the security and data infrastructure is being treated as a strategic operational domain.
Adel Mrabet, Regional Sales Manager at Velasea, notes that Qatar has showcased the robustness and reliability of its security ecosystem. “Qatar has made remarkable progress in implementing enterprise-grade security infrastructure and is now recognized as one of the leading countries globally in physical security systems, spanning networks, VMS, surveillance cameras, access control, and more.”
Qatar is the regional leader in connectivity and telecommunications infrastructure. The IoT market size in Qatar grows at a rate of approximately 30% annually, expecting to reach USD 1.6 billion in 2026, with Qatar’s smart city initiatives, such as the Tasmu Smart Qatar program, being a major driver of this growth. The level of IoT component integration is about 40% of TASMU use cases. Smart urban development projects generate cross-sector demand for connected safety and security solutions. The entire system relies on networked access control, sensor-driven video surveillance, smart-building fire detection, and robust IP networks tying devices into city-level platforms.
Bipin Kumar, Regional Technical Sales Manager at Suprema, deems that the market is clearly moving toward unified, intelligent, and contactless ecosystems. Strong adaptation has already been visible in facial recognition and mobile credentials, cloud-based access control and SaaS models, AI and analytics integration, as well as cybersecure and interoperable access control systems. “End users in Qatar are prioritizing data privacy, system interoperability, and future-proof solutions that can integrate seamlessly with building management, HR, and visitor systems.”

A Transition to Fully Integrated, High-Security Systems
From these words, one could say that the key term is integration, which was also proven in the rail and urban transport. Qatar Rail’s Doha Metro and Lusail Tram networks operate on a level of technical integration that far exceeds traditional transport systems in the region. These systems were designed from the outset as tightly integrated, IP-based transport networks, where signaling, telecommunications, security, passenger information, and fare collection are all centrally managed. Every train, tunnel, station, and depot is continuously linked through IP-based fiber networks, ensuring millisecond-level synchronization across hundreds of subsystems. Maintaining this level of operability requires 24/7 data availability, automated incident workflows, and cybersecurity-hardened infrastructure, underscoring why such an advanced access-control system is not an optional enhancement but an operational necessity in Qatar’s rail and tram environment.
According to Thomas Deville, security today extends beyond physical barriers; it lies at the intersection of hardware, software, IoT connectivity, and data protection. “Without a doubt, the Qatari market is undergoing a significant transition – from isolated, standalone solutions to fully integrated, controller-based high-security systems. The focus is no longer on video surveillance, access control, or intrusion detection as separate components, but on the seamless interconnection of these systems within a unified, easily managed platform,” he notes.
Best-Selling Product Categories and Why They Perform Well
Against this backdrop, the product categories that appear to gain the most traction are those that directly support high throughput, centralized control, and IoT-level connectivity.
Bipin Kumar points out that his company has been actively engaged in Qatar across multiple verticals through our trusted partners and system integrators, deploying their solutions in government, education, oil and gas, and real estate sectors. “Our biggest reference in Qatar is The Pearl Island (UDC), where more than 50,000 tenants rely on Suprema’s Access Control and mobile credential system.”
In aviation and public-facing transport hubs, the move to CT-based checkpoint screening at HIA shows how advanced access and identity management, combined with analytics-enabled video, can deliver faster, smoother security with higher detection performance. High-capacity, scalable network and storage infrastructure is now a core part of security modernization, not an afterthought. The company’s core lineup in the country blends AI, multimodal biometrics, and rugged design: the FaceStation F2 combines face, fingerprint, card, and mobile authentication with powerful anti-spoofing; the BioStation 3 delivers fast, touchless access through advanced AI facial recognition; while the BEW3 brings durable, outdoor-ready fingerprint verification with IP67 and IK09 protection.
In transport corridors and ports, contract descriptions for the Doha Metro, Lusail LRT, and the New Port Project highlight integrated packages that combine video surveillance, access-control systems, and IT communication networks under a unified command-and-control layer. This pattern favors IP-based video, standards-compliant access control, and carrier-grade network infrastructure that can support both safety-critical systems and operational services. In smart-city deployments, TASMU-related documentation and market analyses of Qatar’s smart cities & IoT infrastructure point to strong demand for IoT-ready CCTV, access, and fire-safety systems that can feed data into cloud and edge platforms.
Panduit is leading the modernization of infrastructure in Qatar across various sectors, including government, transportation, security and defense, energy, healthcare, and education, says Ashok Warrier. “Our commitment focuses on enterprise cabling and data center solutions to ensure that critical digital and security systems are supported by reliable, scalable, and future-proof networks and infrastructures,” he notes.
Factors Behind Solution Success
When it comes to fire-detection and alarm systems, regulatory requirements play a decisive role in shaping what sells. Guidelines from the Qatar Civil Defense (QCD) emphasize that fire protection and life-safety system products must be listed, labelled, or approved in accordance with international codes and standards, and that equipment used in buildings must be tested and certified. As a result, addressable fire detection, intelligent control panels, and voice-evacuation systems are typically the default choice for major buildings, industrial plants, and infrastructure projects in Qatar.
This is also confirmed by James Morrison from Hochiki: “In environments where traditional infrastructure can be a challenge, solutions must be robust, reliable, and importantly offer minimal disruption.” His company’s most active verticals are healthcare, hospitality, and education, all sectors that demand not only compliance but long-term performance. However, there is another factor that should not be overlooked, he stresses, and that is graphical management that is simple to understand for the end user.
This is what it takes to compete in Qatar’s security and safety ecosystem: regulatory compliance as the baseline, seamless integration as the expectation, and IoT-native intelligence as the differentiator. The technologies that meet these conditions form the backbone of the country’s next-generation critical infrastructure. Those who don’t simply don’t get in.
Sargunan Sellamuthu from Advanced, whose company has delivered over 40 fire alarm systems to retail stores across Doha malls over the past year, notes that their solutions are trusted for their scalability, reliability, and compliance with QCD requirements. “Axis AX, approved to UL 864 10th Edition, offers modular architecture, advanced cause-and-effect programming, and integrated smoke control, making it ideal for complex environments. Its ability to support voice evacuation and fireman’s telephone systems ensures coordinated emergency response, which is critical for high-rise and mixed-use projects.”
But what makes Qatar truly distinctive isn’t just the high bar; it’s the philosophy behind it. Major infrastructure investments are built around a single design principle: integration over isolation. Signaling, communications, access control, video surveillance, emergency response, and fare collection – all of it flows through centralized OCCs. Forget siloed subsystems. The winners here are technologies that speak the common language of converged IP networks, share data across domains, and synchronize in real time across entire asset bases. Having in mind heavy investments in IoT, one might say that network hardware is only as valuable as its ability to plug into IoT and cloud platforms. Open APIs, interoperable protocols, analytics-ready telemetry, and robust cybersecurity posture are no longer “nice to have” features. They’re entry tickets.
There Are No Shortcuts to Safety
Qatar Civil Defense (QCD) has built one of the world’s most demanding compliance frameworks. Every fire and life-safety component must pass certification in accredited laboratories. Installation is restricted to licensed contractors. Ongoing inspection and maintenance cycles are written directly into the legal code – not as guidelines, but as enforceable requirements.
The result is that there are no shortcuts. This is a market where only top-tier, fully documented, internationally compliant solutions survive. Due to the country’s digital-economy strategy and cybersecurity posture, there is a high demand for secure-by-design platforms, identity/access management, and data governance, which favors suppliers that can evidence compliance and secure cloud and hybrid architectures.
Extreme weather conditions in Qatar ruthlessly eliminate anything less than industrial-grade. The market gravitates toward robust, long-lifecycle solutions that can simultaneously feed continuous data streams into central command environments.
IoT and AI Security Futures
Qatar’s shift into a highly connected, data-driven infrastructure era is rapidly transforming its security and safety ecosystem. According to some projections by Mordor Intelligence, the country’s IoT market alone is projected to grow over 24% year-on-year, reaching USD 3.94 billion by 2030. That growth is being propelled by national programs, which envision that security systems are not just standalone installations, but parts of a single sensor- and data-driven ecosystem.
Adel Mrabet from Velasea stresses that the forefront of innovation is artificial intelligence, which is no longer just a concept, but a practical tool: “Qatari organizations stand to benefit immensely from AI by leveraging data from surveillance cameras, IoT sensors, and other systems to generate actionable insights and anticipate incidents before they occur.”
Indeed, the AI is emerging as an inevitable force. The AI market in the country is expected to reach USD 2.16 billion by 2031, with some estimates by 6wresearch indicating 18% growth year-on-year for the “AI as a Service” within the same timeframe.
Mrabet is encouraged by the growth of “Made in Qatar” solutions and local expertise. “The knowledge and innovation being developed locally have the potential to serve not just Qatar, but the wider MENA region,” he said, noting that his company, Velasea, can enable local actors to expand and reach broader customer bases. For security and safety solution providers, the growth of AI means opportunities in analytics, predictive risk modelling, sensor-fusion platforms, and incident-response orchestration. Imagine video feeds, access logs, and fire-alarm data merged into real-time AI dashboards, enabling proactive rather than reactive security.
James Morrison from Hochiki praises Qatar’s progress towards smarter systems. “As the region moves further into smart city initiatives and green construction practices, demand will increase for systems that are both adaptive and transparent, capable of integrating with wider networks and enabling data-driven oversight.” He stresses that there is a strong potential in technologies that serve complex, multi-use sites, where detection systems must meet diverse regulatory requirements while remaining cost-effective and scalable.
The Future is Smart
Smart city investments are the connective tissue between the IoT/AI technology vectors and the physical infrastructure rollout. Rapid urbanization is the main driver behind the ever-growing smart infrastructure market. One of the brightest examples of the brick-and-mortar infrastructure meeting the cloud solutions is probably Msheireb Downtown Doha. Namely, through the implementation of the IoT-based management system, they have managed to reduce energy consumption by 30%. This helps Qatar be not only at the forefront of energy production, but also on the side of energy conservation.
“Qatar’s security and digital transformation are creating strong demand for high-growth, niche technologies, especially in smart cities and critical infrastructure. End users across government, transport, energy, and education are prioritizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and integrated security operations,” underlined Ashok Warrier from Panduit. He further explains that the priorities should be depicted as AI-driven accuracy with reduced false alarms, lifecycle support through managed services, local presence for fast support, and unified security platforms that combine physical security, cybersecurity alerts, and operational intelligence.
This means that over the next 5-10 years, the security and safety market in Qatar will most probably increasingly pivot around platforms rather than products. The future will be dominated by the systems that can integrate IoT devices, feed AI engines, all connected into smart-city command centers.
In such an environment, supplier strength will not be determined simply by hardware features, but by interoperability, scalability, data-management capabilities, and the ability to support lifecycle analytics. With major infrastructure projects (aviation, energy, transport, urban redevelopment) all scheduled or active, the demand window for integrated IoT/AI-enabled security and safety solutions is wide open.
Investment and Innovation Opportunities
For investors and solution-providers, the convergence of smart solutions in Qatar reveals multiple high-potential entry points. Network infrastructure and sensor platforms are high on that list. High-bandwidth and low-latency networks create demand for secure, resilient access-control and connectivity systems. Under the national digital strategy, the Qatari ICT market is estimated at USD 6.25 billion and growing. The country aims to position itself as a leader in digital government with the aim of digitizing 90% of its services to citizens. Under such circumstances, security vendors with expertise in high-availability networking, ruggedized sensors, and unified systems position themselves strongly for both new builds and retrofit programs.
Sargunan Sellamuthu from Advanced notes that scalable systems will be essential to meet the demands of Qatar’s rapidly evolving built environment. “Innovation will focus on smart monitoring, cloud-based management, and false alarm reduction technologies to improve efficiency and minimize disruption.” As for his company, Sellamuthu notes that the greatest potential lies in integrated fire safety solutions that combine detection, smoke control, and voice evacuation, particularly for high-rise developments, healthcare facilities, and transport hubs.
Big data and AI-driven security services represent another promising layer for investors. The Qatari government is determined to start employing AI-powered tools to improve its services. The country’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology stressed they are ready to adopt tools such as predictive analytics, automation, and advanced data analysis in an effort to streamline operations.
This was also recognized by Bipin Kumar from Suprema. His prediction is that Qatar’s security market will continue expanding with key opportunities in several different areas, including smart city infrastructure, energy, cloud, education, and healthcare. All these sectors will need integration of AI-driven solutions, from the digital ID integration and predictive security to insight-driven management. “Innovation will be driven by AI-powered identity verification, IoT-based sensors, and data-centric security platforms. At Suprema, we are committed to supporting this evolution through continuous innovation and close collaboration with our regional partners,” he concluded.
However, Thomas Deville from IDtech adds that this presents a valuable opportunity to develop bespoke, long-term security solutions in collaboration with the Qatari stakeholders.
Indeed, localization, ecosystem development, and public-private partnership models are recognized as strategic priorities. According to the Qatar National Vision 2030, the country has been encouraging knowledge transfer, local manufacturing, and skills development.
For international players, this means early localization plans, partnerships, and training programs can become differentiators. Incentive programs, such as USD 1 billion Invest Qatar’s incentive fund for digital and technology investment, underscore that the government is prepared to support companies that align with national transformation goals.
Deville stressed this is a pivotal moment for Qatar to promote sustainability, resilience, and innovation across all layers of its security ecosystem. “In the longer term, this visibility positions Qatar to play an even greater strategic role in the Gulf region. To achieve this, the country must carefully balance its immediate economic recovery with the need to foster regional cooperation, invest in adaptable and advanced technologies, and modernize its security infrastructure.”
