three core foundations in mind: agility,
innovation and determination; this
makes our team highly adaptable to our
members. Without requiring any insight

Team CTM360 can be deployed as an
external SOC on the internet. We are
a very results-oriented setup and our
achievements in hunting and neutralising
threats on the internet have given CTM360
widespread recognition. Ecstatic with this
Forbes achievement,” stated Mirza Asrar

As an ongoing subscription-based
service, CTM360 enables companies
to perform Cyber Threat Management
outside the perimeter of the organisation.
This decentralised approach means the
company can tackle cyber threats on
a global scale, in any industry and any
geography.
This quarter has been a remarkable
one for CTM360, with the company
recipient of recognition not only from
Forbes, but also being winners of Red
Herring Asia (Manila) and Best Managed
Detection & Response Provider at the
Security Advisor awards.
Samsung’s Solution for
Switching Devices
Samsung’s Smart Switch app is
designed to make switching between
phones as seamless and secure as
possible. Not only does it simplify the
process of transferring content, it also
eliminates one of the most common
fears among smartphone upgraders:
losing precious memories or data en
route to the new device.
Smart Switch provides the peace of
mind that so often stands between you
and a new smartphone. It ensures that
your new Galaxy device will be up and
running, with all the same content, in
no time.
Not only does Smart Switch provide
the security you need to upgrade

Alshaya’s senior Vice President for
Property Development, John Hadden
said, “We are delighted to have such a
strong presence at The Avenues, which is
going to be a major leisure and shopping
destination for shoppers across the
region. We look forward to offering our
customers in Bahrain the widest range of
shopping and dining experiences.”
Our phones have evolved to
become much more than arbitrary
communication devices; we make them
our own, as unique as we are ourselves.
So in upgrading to a new device, we
want it to have all of the information
that we’re already accustomed to, but
with the perks of improved hardware,
technology, and services.
A new smartphone should be an
exciting and enriching experience,
but it’s often tainted by the hassle and
worry of transferring content. For some,
the fear of losing valuable data and
memories is enough to avoid upgrading
altogether - but with Smart Switch,
Samsung alleviates this fear and ensures
all your cherished digital memories
carry over to your new phone, so you can
focus on making new ones.
Every time they shop, enrolled
customers can also benefit from
Alshaya’s loyalty program, Privileges
Club that offers members a range of
offers, rewards and prize draws. Alshaya
already operates more than 100 stores
in Bahrain, across retails sectors that
include fashion & footwear, food, health
& beauty, pharmacy, optics and home
furnishings.
The Avenues - Bahrain, strategically
located in the heart of Manama on King
Faisal Road, is a stunning new retail and
entertainment destination, with a unique
seafront location of more than 1.5 km.
