Trust is the cornerstone of cybersecurity in the digital era that is evolving at a breakneck speed. That’s why, soon after its establishment in 1991 as an IT infrastructure provider, Intertec Systems transformed into a comprehensive digital transformation partner, expanding its capabilities across applications, managed services, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions. Its evolution has always been driven by a deep commitment to listening to its customers and continuously reinventing itself to meet not only its current needs but also future challenges.

Pioneering Innovation: From Managed Services to Smart, Sector-Specific Solutions

Intertec was among the pioneers of managed services in the region and executed one of the first cloud migrations to Azure North DC. Today, it continues to innovate with a portfolio of industry-focused intellectual properties, including inspection solutions for municipalities, tailored platforms for the insurance sector, enterprise portfolio management systems, and advanced asset tracking and lifecycle management solutions—integrated with drones and visual asset intelligence. These innovations reflect the company’s dedication to delivering practical, forward-thinking solutions that create real value.

From Infra to Intelligence: The Cybersecurity Transformation

Intertec Systems has come a long way since its early focus on security product deployments and being a part of Infra Solutions. Over time, it evolved into a trusted provider of cybersecurity consulting and technical advisory services. As one of the early system integrators to establish a dedicated cybersecurity business unit, it has consistently stayed ahead of the curve. Today, its capabilities span Managed Security Services, GRC solutions and consulting, Security Testing Services, and a strong emphasis on Data and Identity Security—an area experiencing significant growth and momentum.

Unified Defense: IT, IoT, and OT Secured Together

Intertec’s cybersecurity framework also integrates IoT and OT security, forming a unified fabric that supports comprehensive threat defense. The Cybersecurity Resilience Center (CSRC) is now fully equipped to manage OT Security Operations (SecOps), enabling seamless coordination across OT, IoT, and IT environments. This integration is critical for delivering rapid, precise responses to an increasingly complex threat landscape.

A Future-Proof Vision: AI at the Heart of Cybersecurity

Looking ahead, the future of cybersecurity lies in proactive monitoring, swift incident response, and advanced threat intelligence. Intertec Systems is embedding AI into enterprise security frameworks to empower organizations to anticipate and neutralize threats—before they surface.

What sets the team apart in the region is its ability to leverage deep interdepartmental knowledge, enabling clients to benefit from a unified, business-aligned technology strategy that drives both resilience and innovation.

Zero Trust, Custom-Fit: Architecture That Understands You

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is not a one-size-fits-all framework but a strategic approach to cybersecurity. While the foundational principles and building blocks of Zero Trust—such as continuous verification, least privilege access, and micro-segmentation—are consistent, their implementation must be tailored to each organization’s unique business context. Intertec understands that a successful zero-trust model must align with the customer’s operations, technology, and priorities. Their method involves collaborating with stakeholders to create and implement an effective zero-trust architecture, blending security seamlessly with business agility.

A Cyber Resilience Center That Thinks Ahead

Intertec has transformed its traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) into a fully equipped Cybersecurity Resilience Center (CSRC). This evolution is driven by the deployment of autonomous and AI-powered solutions that enable rapid incident response and proactive threat management. Its center is tightly integrated with leading threat intelligence platforms and supported by a threat-hunting ecosystem, significantly enhancing our ability to detect threats early and reduce false positives. In addition to core SOC functions, the company offers advanced services such as Managed Privileged Access Management (PAM), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and Managed Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). The center also extends its capabilities to Digital Risk Protection, helping organizations safeguard sensitive data across digital channels. This holistic, intelligence-driven approach ensures Intertec’s clients are not only protected but also resilient in the face of evolving cyber threats.

In its bid to support enterprise clients as they shift from traditional IT to secure, cloud-native, AI-integrated models, Intertec’s CSRC integrates AI-driven threat intelligence, Zero Trust Architecture, and managed services to deliver 24/7 protection.
