Cloud Security Services in UAE
What Are Cloud Security Services?
Cloud security services protect the workloads, data, identities and configurations that live in public, private and hybrid cloud. They span assessment and architecture, preventive controls such as posture and workload protection platforms, secure delivery through DevSecOps, and continuous monitoring and response.
Cloud breaches are rarely caused by the provider. They come from misconfigured storage, over-permissive identities, exposed management interfaces and secrets left in pipelines — the customer’s half of the shared responsibility model.
UAE organisations carry extra obligations: NESA/UAE IA and DESC ISR cloud controls, CBUAE outsourcing rules for financial entities, ADHICS for healthcare and PDPL data-residency expectations. Our Dubai-based cloud security team covers both the technical and the regulatory side.

Workload Protection
Runtime protection for virtual machines, containers and serverless across every cloud you run.
Our Cloud Security Approach
1. Assess
Discover accounts, subscriptions and workloads, then measure posture against benchmarks and regulations.
2. Architect
Design the target landing zone, identity model, network and data protection controls.
3. Implement
Deploy CSPM, CWPP, zero trust and pipeline controls with automation, not manual checklists.
4. Monitor
24/7 detection, response and continuous posture management from our Dubai SOC.

Cloud Security UAE FAQs
Is the cloud provider responsible for our security?
Only partly. Under the shared responsibility model, providers secure the underlying infrastructure while you remain responsible for identities, access, configuration, data, applications and monitoring. Nearly all cloud breaches occur in the customer’s half of that model.
Which cloud platforms do you secure?
Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 as our primary expertise, alongside AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud and private or hybrid environments including VMware and Kubernetes platforms.
Does UAE law require our data to stay in the country?
The PDPL permits cross-border transfers to jurisdictions with adequate protection or with appropriate safeguards, while CBUAE, DESC and sector regulators impose stricter residency and approval requirements on certain data. We assess which rules apply to you and design the architecture accordingly.
What is the difference between CSPM and CWPP?
Cloud Security Posture Management continuously checks configuration and compliance across your cloud accounts. Cloud Workload Protection secures the running workloads themselves — virtual machines, containers and serverless — with vulnerability, runtime and threat protection. Most organisations need both.
How quickly can you assess our cloud environment?
A posture assessment of a single cloud platform typically takes 2 to 3 weeks including reporting. Multi-cloud estates with Kubernetes and pipelines usually take 4 to 6 weeks.
Can you monitor our cloud 24/7?
Yes. Our SOC in Dubai monitors cloud control planes, workloads, identities and SaaS platforms around the clock, with response actions agreed in advance.
