CONNECT-PS, a company specialized in providing integrated technology solutions, has announced the outlines of its new strategy through 2028, which aims to achieve a qualitative leap in its business volume and regional standing. The plan centers on tripling revenues compared to 2025 levels, while steering the growth compass toward external markets and advanced technical services.
Regional Expansion and Focus on the Saudi Market
The company places the Saudi market at the forefront of its expansion priorities, targeting that external markets contribute 50% of its total revenues by 2028. This expansion focuses particularly on the energy, oil and gas, and mining sectors in the Kingdom, capitalizing on the acceleration of digital transformation programs there. The company plans to build a unified regional model for delivering cybersecurity services, ensuring standardized operations and service quality between its headquarters in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and the rest of the markets in which it operates.
Cybersecurity and Managed Services as a Pillar of Growth
Cybersecurity currently represents about 40% of CONNECT-PS's activity, and the company expects this percentage to increase as digital threats escalate and organizations adopt cloud computing. The company is working on developing advanced capabilities in specific areas including:
- Operational Technology Security (OT Security): To secure critical infrastructure in the energy and utilities sectors.
- Managed Detection and Response Services (MDR): To shift from a traditional defense model to proactive threat monitoring.
- Security Operations Centers (SOC): And developing SIEM and SOAR solutions to enhance the speed of response to cyber incidents.
Artificial Intelligence and Technical Innovation
In line with global transformations, the company is adopting a vision to integrate "Agentic AI" into its defense systems, expecting this trend to change how security operations are managed by executing complex tasks autonomously to reduce the time required to discover vulnerabilities. The company also committed to gradually increasing research and development (R&D) allocations to reach 3% of total revenues by 2030, with a focus on developing specialized human resources in artificial intelligence and managed services.
Why This News Matters
This shift in CONNECT-PS's strategy reflects the maturity of Egyptian technology companies and their ability to export complex digital services rather than relying solely on the domestic market. It also highlights the trend toward "industrial cybersecurity" as an urgent need in the region, especially with vital facilities being connected to the internet. For organizations, this development means the availability of regional partners capable of providing integrated solutions including design, implementation, and continuous operation, which reduces reliance on international vendors for daily operational tasks.
Key Digital Targets
The company summarized its goals in three pivotal figures: tripling revenues by 2028, generating 50% of these revenues from outside Egypt, and allocating 3% of income to innovation and talent development by 2030. These steps come after the company obtained important regulatory accreditations such as the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA) classification in Egypt, and registration through the "Haseen" platform of the National Cybersecurity Authority in Saudi Arabia.
