Nigeria’s digital development efforts received a major boost as telecommunications giant Globacom pledged full support for the Nigerian Communications Commission’s (NCC) business roundtable on Broadband Investment and Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure, which opened today at the NCC Headquarters in Abuja.
Themed “Right of Way and Protection of Broadband Infrastructure – The Road to Success in Broadband Investment and Connectivity”, the high-level gathering brings together stakeholders from federal and state governments, the private sector, telecom operators, and regulatory bodies to forge practical strategies for expanding Nigeria’s broadband footprint and strengthening infrastructure security.
Globacom’s sponsorship and active participation underscore its continued leadership in shaping the country’s digital future.

According to industry analysts, the roundtable serves as a vital forum for aligning public and private sector interests towards achieving Nigeria’s broadband targets, improving policy coordination, and closing existing digital divides — especially in underserved and rural communities.
Globacom’s involvement also offers a strategic platform to influence policy direction, particularly around Right of Way (RoW) issues, infrastructure investment incentives, and long-term regulatory frameworks that affect broadband expansion.
By contributing to these discussions, Globacom seeks to accelerate nationwide deployment of high-speed internet while ensuring robust safeguards for critical communication assets.
The company views the roundtable as an opportunity to strengthen public-private partnerships, explore innovative funding models, and advocate for equitable digital access. This aligns with Globacom’s long-standing commitment to digital inclusion, empowering millions of Nigerians through affordable and reliable connectivity solutions.
“We believe that digital transformation must be inclusive and secure. Our participation in this roundtable is a continuation of our mission to support national development through technology. A resilient broadband infrastructure is critical to Nigeria’s economic growth and global competitiveness”, Globacom stated.
Furthermore, Globacom’s contributions to the Critical National Information Infrastructure Protection Plan (CNIIPP) will help shape a coordinated national framework for telecom security, reinforcing Nigeria’s defences against cyber threats and infrastructure sabotage.
As the roundtable continues, Globacom reaffirms its role not only as a telecoms provider but also as a trusted partner in the country’s journey towards a fully digitised, economically empowered, and secure future.

Futurex partners with Spire Solutions to expand enterprise encryption across Middle East and Africa
Futurex, a global leader in enterprise-grade data encryption solutions, has announced its partnership with Spire Solutions, MEA’s trusted partner for cybersecurity, cloud, data and AI solutions, and leading value-added distributor (VAD), to accelerate enterprise access to advanced encryption, key management, and data protection solutions.
Syed Quadri, Chief Operating Officer, Spire Solutions and John Doley, VP Sales – Middle East, Futurex
Through this collaboration, Futurex’s industry-leading solutions, combined with Spire Solutions’ extensive regional presence and technical expertise, will help enterprises meet the growing demand for compliance-driven, scalable, and future-ready cybersecurity solutions across banking, government, telecom, and large enterprises.
The Middle East cybersecurity market is projected to grow from USD 16.75 billion in 2025 to USD 26.04 billion by 2030, driven by rapid digital adoption and strengthened by regional initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, Kuwait’s Vision 2035, and the UAE’s National Cybersecurity Strategy.
Speaking on the new partnership, John Doley, VP Sales – Middle East, Futurex said, “Futurex has made significant investments in building a local presence, partnerships, and data center availability in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Teaming up with Spire Solutions gives us an added advantage, allowing our world-class encryption and key management solutions to reach Middle Eastern enterprises with the support of local expertise and extensive regional reach. With enterprises demanding faster, more scalable, and compliance-ready security solutions, we help organizations secure their data, accelerate cloud adoption, and thrive in one of the world’s fastest-growing cybersecurity markets.”
Futurex’s unified data protection platform, CryptoHub, is the fastest and most scalable solution in the world, designed to go beyond traditional HSMs.
Unlike other industry offerings that cobble together multiple crypto functions via acquisitions, Futurex’s cloud-ready CryptoHub solutions removing complexity and cost while accelerating enterprise cloud adoption and compliance.
By bringing our cloud HSMs into the region, we enable customers to meet strict data sovereignty requirements, boost performance by reducing latency, and while reducing the cost and overhead of owning and maintaining standalone solutions, all while accelerating secure enterprise cloud adoption.
“Digital transformation in the Middle East is accelerating, and enterprises can’t afford to compromise on security,” said Syed Quadri, Chief Operating Officer, Spire Solutions. “We are proud of this partnership with Futurex which brings cutting-edge encryption and key management solutions to the region.
“It not only meets today’s compliance and data sovereignty requirements but also prepares enterprises for future challenges, from post-quantum cryptography to accelerated cloud adoption.
“Together, we are strengthening the region’s cybersecurity ecosystem, empowering organizations to operate securely, confidently, and at scale while setting a new standard for protecting their valuable data.”
The region’s cybersecurity landscape is transforming rapidly to meet the needs of modern enterprises, driven by stringent compliance and data sovereignty requirements under frameworks such as Saudi Arabia’s SAMA Cybersecurity Framework, the UAE’s NESA guidelines, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
In the Middle East, compliance mandates, cloud adoption, and rising FinTech demands are accelerating the need for BYOK, HYOK, and HSM-as-a-Service. At Futurex, we see the region moving beyond traditional security to embrace forward-looking encryption strategies that address today’s threats while preparing for the post-quantum future.
Organizations are also facing increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, including nation-state and financial cyberattacks, highlighting the need for post-quantum cryptography to future-proof cybersecurity strategies.
By introducing the Futurex’s CryptoHub platform and a suite of scalable, compliance-ready security solutions across the region, the aim is to accelerate Futurex’s growth, empower customers to implement secure and future-ready technologies, and, together with Spire Solutions, strengthen the position as market leaders in delivering trusted cybersecurity innovation.
