Today, Zerospolit MEA and Comforte AG announced a strategic partnership to help financial institutions, banks, telecom operators, and other organizations handling sensitive customer data across Egypt and the MENA region. With Zerosploit MEA’s cybersecurity success serving banks, telecom operators, fintech companies, and government entities and Comforte AG’s expertise in data-centric security, organizations can protect sensitive data across their full technology stack from core systems and payment infrastructures to cloud, analytics, and AI.
Under the partnership, Zerosploit will serve as Comforte’s regional partner, bringing the TAMUNIO Data Security Platform to banks, payment processors, telecom operators, fintechs, and other regulated organizations across the region.
The Data Protection Challenge Facing Organizations in Egypt and MENA
Organizations across Egypt and MENA are running environments with increasing complexity. With sensitive data flows containing cardholder, customer, and subscriber information across core banking systems, payment switches, ATM networks, payment gateways, digital channels, cloud platforms, and AI pipelines, every point of that journey is a potential exposure. Simultaneously, the attack surface has grown and regulatory expectations around how sensitive data is discovered, accessed, protected, and audited continue to increase.
Comforte’s TAMUNIO platform is not only designed to protect sensitive data close to its source, but also keep it protected as it moves across core systems, payment infrastructure, cloud environments, analytics platforms, and AI workflows. Using advanced technologies such as tokenization and format-preserving encryption, TAMUNIO helps organizations reduce exposure of sensitive data while preserving its usability for business processes, analytics, fraud detection, and AI initiatives.
For banks running Temenos core banking systems, TAMUNIO integrates directly to protect PII and account data at the source. Comforte’s technology already protects 64% of global card payment transactions and is trusted by more than 300 enterprise customers worldwide–including leading banks, payment processors, and critical infrastructure operators.
What This Means for Organizations in Egypt and MENA
Through this strategic partnership, financial institutions, telecom operators, and any organization handling sensitive customer data across the region will be able to:
• Protect cardholder and customer data across core systems, ATM switches, payment gateways, digital channels, and cloud environments with consistent controls that follow the data.
• Reduce PCI compliance scope and cost by tokenizing sensitive data at capture, shrinking the number of in-scope systems and simplifying audit evidence.
• Safely use customer and payment data for analytics, fraud models, and AI without exposing raw values, while also preserving consistent protection and data utility.
• Support Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and other regional regulatory requirements which apply across all sectors, through automated discovery, classification, and protection of sensitive data across their environments.
Ayman Hammouda, Chief Business Officer at Zerosploit MEA, said:
“Financial institutions, telecom operators and organizations Egypt and the wider MENA region are seeing rapid growth in digital banking, real-time payments, and cloud adoption. Sensitive data moves across all of it and protecting it at the perimeter is no longer enough. We need security that travels with the data.
This partnership gives our clients access to technology that protects the data itself, wherever it goes. That’s the kind of security that actually holds.”
Bart Parren, Chief Revenue Officer at comforte AG, said:
“As the demand for digital transformation across Egypt and the MENA region grows, ensuring protection of sensitive data without limiting operability has become paramount.
Organizations need a way to protect sensitive data without slowing the innovation and transformation their businesses depend on. By combining deep cybersecurity expertise and advanced data-centric protection, this partnership unlocks a path to securing customer and payment data throughout the entire lifecycle while addressing compliance, modernization, analytics, and AI initiatives with greater confidence and success.”
