Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Saudi cybersecurity company CQR officially launched FENNEC, a next-generation cybersecurity platform designed to protect the industrial backbone of Saudi Arabia and other critical infrastructure in the region.

Designed with local and international standards compliance at its core, FENNEC combines full-stack OT visibility with embedded AI monitoring, delivering up to 90% reduction in compliance effort for asset owners, the company unveiled in a press release today.

The platform offers a Saudi-engineered, end-to-end solution tailored for complex OT environments, from oil and gas fields to water utilities and manufacturing plants. It integrates compliance automation, real-time threat detection, protocol-aware monitoring, and risk management into one modular system, shifting industrial cybersecurity from a reactive posture to active defense.

FENNEC allows industrial operators to meet national security regulations without the usual manual burden by providing bilingual audit reporting, automated evidence gathering, and pre-configured policy templates.

Unlike IT-centric monitoring systems, FENNEC was designed for OT and IOT infrastructure. This embedded architecture enables zero-trust enforcement and micro-segmentation without additional hardware or production downtime, delivering critical security outcomes without disrupting operations.

Moreover, FENNEC’s built-in AI Monitoring and SOC Modules deliver continuous detection and response for both connected and air-gapped environments. Alerts are automatically correlated and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, complete with AI-generated root cause analysis and response suggestions.
