Cohesity and Awan Distribution recently organized a comprehensive Portfolio Enablement Session at Awan Distribution’s head office in Karachi, offering an in-depth look at data resilience and secure infrastructure strategies in today’s evolving digital environment. The session was led by Muhammad Umair Afghani, who guided participants through the critical components of modern data protection. The event aimed to empower partners with relevant knowledge and practical tools to strengthen their approach to data management and ensure secure digital transformation initiatives.
The session highlighted the pressing need for organizations and technology partners to stay informed and proactive in securing digital assets. Umair Afghani emphasized that data resilience is not just about recovery—it’s about anticipating risks, fortifying systems, and equipping stakeholders with actionable intelligence. With digital threats becoming more sophisticated, the ability to respond quickly and effectively to incidents is increasingly vital. The training addressed these concerns by sharing proven frameworks for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining compliance with changing regulatory standards.
Throughout the session, attendees engaged in discussions that bridged theoretical insights with real-world challenges. Practical examples and interactive dialogue allowed participants to understand how data security strategies can be implemented across diverse environments. The enablement workshop also covered how to ensure business continuity and compliance in the face of escalating data volumes and stricter data protection mandates.
One of the core themes of the event was the significance of collaboration among partners to create a robust data protection ecosystem. Afghani highlighted that the collective strength of the partner network can drive consistency in security practices, reduce data vulnerabilities, and increase trust with end clients. He stressed the importance of ongoing learning and technical alignment between partners to support this goal.
The session gathered professionals and leaders from both organizations, including Sarah Naamani, Tarek Hammoud, Mesut Mert, Anna Grigoryan, Babar S., Kashif Ahmed Saeed, Muhammad Noman Alam, and Muhammad Furqan. Their presence added value to the session by offering additional perspectives on market demands, evolving risks, and how best to support customers in navigating the current cybersecurity landscape.
Cohesity’s collaboration with Awan Distribution reflects a shared commitment to fostering a stronger cybersecurity posture within the regional tech ecosystem. By investing in partner education and strategic knowledge sharing, both organizations aim to build long-term capabilities that address present and future data protection challenges. The event underscored the value of such technical sessions as essential forums for learning, strategy development, and mutual alignment among technology stakeholders.
The Portfolio Enablement Session marks a meaningful step toward building a secure and resilient data infrastructure across partner networks. It also reinforces the importance of partnerships that prioritize knowledge-sharing and community engagement to strengthen collective data security efforts in Pakistan.
