Omagh based company LoughTec, which specialises in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, has been awarded a major cyber security contract from BidX1.
BidX1 is Europe’s leading digital property investment platform – a platform that connects users across the globe with real estate opportunities in multiple markets and enables them to complete the entire transaction online, using technology developed in Dublin.
Their mission is to combine property expertise with technology to provide unparalleled levels of transparency, analytics and global reach.

Headquartered in Dublin, where their model was first developed, BidX1 currently operates in the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Spain and Cyprus. The Company has sold over 10,000 properties to date, more than €2.5bn-worth of real estate.
LoughTec will work in conjunction with their US and EMEA partners OPSWAT to implement BidX1’s new file scanning solution, MetaDefender Cloud. The solution scans all files that are uploaded into critical networks, such as Cloud storage like AWS, Box and Azure. This ensures BidX1 are protected from file borne malware threats that may lie within files, even if they appear innocent.
Ebenezer Akintunde, Software Delivery Manager at BidX1, said: “LoughTec is one of the leading Cyber Security systems providers worldwide and our research highlighted that they provide one of the most advanced file upload malware protection and detection solutions. “The service development and setup process was extremely smooth due to the effective and seamless collaboration with the brilliant LoughTec team, especially Jonathan Adams who was very informative in explaining and guiding us through the implementation and set-up process.”
