Resecurity, a U.S.-based global leader in threat intelligence and cybersecurity solutions, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Iraq Cyber Events Response Team (IQ-CERT). The agreement, facilitated by ICS Technologies, Resecurity’s authorized distributor in Iraq, aims to enhance Iraq’s national cyber defense capabilities and accelerate the deployment of advanced threat intelligence technologies.
IQ-CERT is a joint national team responsible for securing national networks, data centers, and official websites within Iraq. It coordinates cybersecurity efforts across the public and private sectors, ensuring digital protection and resilience for institutions nationwide. Gene Yoo, CEO of Resecurity, stated, “Our partnership with IQ-CERT underscores Resecurity’s mission to support national security through localized, AI-driven threat intelligence. We’re proud to bring advanced capabilities to help Iraq detect, prevent, and respond to the evolving threat landscape.”
Under the terms of the MoU, Resecurity and IQ-CERT will collaborate on several key initiatives. These include enhancing cyber resilience through the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and risk management technologies specifically tailored for Iraq’s digital ecosystem. The partnership also involves localizing Resecurity’s cybersecurity platforms to ensure compatibility with Iraq’s language preferences, cultural context, and technical requirements. A primary focus will be combating fraud, digital identity abuse, and cybercrime targeting government institutions, financial organizations, and critical infrastructure.
As part of this collaboration, IQ-CERT will support the integration of Resecurity’s technology into national frameworks and provide guidance to ensure successful implementation across key sectors. Mr. Mikhled, Director of the Cyber Security Department at IQ-CERT, commented, “IQ-CERT’s cooperation with Resecurity aligns with Iraq’s strategy to modernize its cyber defenses and adopt world-class solutions. Together, we aim to reinforce the nation’s cybersecurity readiness and protect our digital future.”
The strategic partnership will be jointly announced by Resecurity and IQ-CERT during a prominent national cybersecurity and defense exhibition in Iraq. This event will emphasize their shared commitment to safeguarding national interests through innovation, intelligence, and cross-sector collaboration.
