Manama – BENEFIT, the Kingdom’s leading company in Fintech and electronic financial transactions services, has demonstrated its cybersecurity expertise and operational resilience in a specialized exercise organized by Bahrain’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). Bringing together prominent TRA licensees and other industry stakeholders, the exercise provided a competitive platform for assessing institutional preparedness against sophisticated cyber threats, with BENEFIT delivering an impressive performance that reflected its advanced security capabilities and risk management practices.The exercise challenged participating organizations to navigate realistic cybersecurity incidents across two distinct tracks, examining both technical proficiency and executive decision-making. While specialist teams were assessed on their ability to identify and respond to security threats, cybersecurity leadership teams faced scenarios requiring strategic judgement, effective crisis management and coordinated action. This comprehensive approach placed particular emphasis on the relationship between technical response, organizational readiness and the ability to maintain operational stability under pressure. Mr. Badran Bukamal, Head of Information Security and Risk Management at BENEFIT, stated: “In an increasingly interconnected financial ecosystem, the true measure of cybersecurity resilience lies in an organization’s ability to respond decisively to unexpected threats while safeguarding the continuity of its services. Technology remains fundamental, but it must be supported by experienced professionals, clear governance and sound judgement at every level. Our performance in this exercise reflects the standards we maintain across BENEFIT and our commitment to putting our capabilities to the test rather than relying solely on established safeguards.”“As cyber threats continue to evolve in scale and sophistication, maintaining a high level of preparedness requires constant vigilance, regular testing and the ability to anticipate emerging risks. We commend the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority for bringing together key industry stakeholders in an exercise that encouraged practical collaboration, knowledge exchange and the assessment of critical response capabilities. Such initiatives play an important role in advancing cybersecurity standards across sectors and reinforcing the resilience of Bahrain’s digital infrastructure.”For BENEFIT, cybersecurity remains central to its responsibility as a key participant in Bahrain’s digital financial ecosystem. The company continues to prioritize investment in information security, specialist expertise and disciplined risk management, with a focus on protecting sensitive data, preserving the integrity of electronic financial services and maintaining the reliability of its operations. These priorities underpin BENEFIT’s approach to supporting the Kingdom’s advancing digital economy while meeting the increasingly demanding security requirements of the financial sector.
