Borhan acknowledges that the growing emphasis on data protection and AI regulations
adds to the complexity but also drives the need for Red Hat’s expertise. “The data
protection laws are becoming stricter,” he remarks. Red Hat’s partnerships with

cybersecurity ISVs ensure their clients can meet these regulatory demands without
compromising operational efficiency.

Ultimately, Red Hat’s ability to adapt to the varied needs of the region while harnessing

the momentum of technological leadership gives it a competitive edge. “It’s a good
challenge to have,” Borhan reflects, pointing out that the region’s rapid digital
transformation demands advanced solutions and helps Red Hat continuously evolve its
