Thales Awards GTS CPL Gold Partner Status

Recognition Reflects GTS’s Continued Investment in Cybersecurity Excellence, Technical Expertise, and Trusted Partnership with Thales

Cairo, Egypt – 2024 — GTS proudly announces that it has achieved Thales CPL Gold Partner status, an important milestone that recognizes the company’s advanced technical capabilities, commitment to customer success, and continued investment in delivering world-class cybersecurity and data protection solutions across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The recognition further strengthens GTS Holding’s strategic relationship with Thales, one of the world’s leading providers of cybersecurity, data protection, encryption, identity management, and digital trust technologies. Through the Thales Accelerate Partner Network, Gold Partners are recognized for demonstrating exceptional technical expertise, customer engagement, solution delivery capabilities, and ongoing investment in professional development.

For GTS Holding, achieving Gold Partner status represents far more than a new partnership tier. It reflects years of dedication to helping organizations protect their most valuable digital assets while navigating an increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity landscape.

Advancing Data Security in the Digital Era

Across every industry, digital transformation has fundamentally changed how organizations operate. Critical business applications now span on-premises infrastructure, private cloud environments, public cloud platforms, and hybrid architectures. While these technologies provide greater agility and innovation, they also introduce new challenges surrounding data privacy, regulatory compliance, encryption, identity management, and cyber resilience.

Organizations today recognize that cybersecurity extends beyond protecting networks. Safeguarding sensitive information throughout its lifecycle has become equally essential. Whether securing financial transactions, protecting healthcare records, safeguarding government information, or ensuring compliance with international regulations, businesses require comprehensive security strategies built upon trusted technologies and experienced implementation partners.

Delivering Trusted Cybersecurity Through the Thales Partnership

This is where the collaboration between GTS Holding and Thales delivers exceptional value.

By combining Thales’ globally recognized cybersecurity portfolio with GTS Holding’s regional expertise, customers gain access to integrated solutions that address modern security challenges through encryption, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Identity and Access Management (IAM), key management, cloud security, data protection, digital trust, and compliance solutions.

Rather than offering isolated security products, GTS Holding adopts a consultative approach that begins with understanding each customer’s operational objectives, security posture, compliance requirements, and long-term digital transformation strategy.

From assessment and architecture design to implementation, optimization, and ongoing support, GTS Holding develops tailored cybersecurity strategies that integrate seamlessly into existing IT environments while supporting future business growth.

This customer-first methodology has enabled GTS Holding to become a trusted advisor for organizations operating across banking, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, government, manufacturing, energy, and other critical sectors.

Leadership Perspective

Commenting on the achievement, Eng. Ayman Al Sayed, Managing Director of GTS Holding, said:

"Cybersecurity is no longer about deploying individual technologies. Organizations require integrated security strategies that protect identities, applications, networks, and, most importantly, data. Achieving Thales CPL Gold Partner status reflects our engineering capabilities and our ability to deliver sophisticated cybersecurity solutions that align with both business objectives and international security standards."

The partnership between GTS Holding and Thales reflects a shared vision centered on innovation, collaboration, and long-term customer success.

As organizations increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, cloud-native applications, Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and distributed digital ecosystems, protecting data and establishing digital trust have become more important than ever.

Meeting these challenges requires close collaboration between technology providers and experienced system integrators capable of transforming advanced security technologies into practical business outcomes.

Strengthening Secure Digital Transformation Across the Middle East

Strategic partnerships have always been central to GTS Holding’s long-term growth strategy. By collaborating with globally recognized technology leaders such as Thales, the company ensures customers gain access to innovative cybersecurity solutions backed by local expertise, responsive support, and deep technical knowledge.

Since its founding in 2018, GTS Holding has expanded its presence throughout the Middle East, earning recognition for its expertise across cybersecurity, networking, cloud infrastructure, data center modernization, managed services, and digital transformation.

Achieving Thales CPL Gold Partner status represents another important milestone in this journey.

Looking ahead, GTS Holding will continue strengthening its cybersecurity portfolio while investing in technical talent, professional certifications, and strategic alliances with industry-leading technology providers.

As organizations continue embracing cloud technologies, digital services, artificial intelligence, and data-driven operations, trust will become one of the most valuable business assets. Through its partnership with Thales and its unwavering commitment to customer success, GTS Holding remains well positioned to help organizations build resilient, compliant, and future-ready security environments.

The company extends its sincere appreciation to Thales for this recognition and for a partnership founded on innovation, technical excellence, and customer commitment. GTS Holding also thanks its customers, partners, and employees whose trust, collaboration, and dedication continue to drive the company’s success across the region.
