Cyber Resilience & Operations in UAE
What Are Cyber Resilience & Security Operations?
Cyber resilience is an organisation’s ability to anticipate, withstand, respond to and recover from cyber attacks. Security operations is the people, process and technology that deliver it every day: monitoring, detection, threat hunting, incident response and continuous vulnerability reduction.
UAE regulators including NESA/UAE IA, DESC ISR, CBUAE and ADHICS require continuous security monitoring, documented incident response and timely breach reporting. Building a 24/7 SOC in-house is expensive and the regional skills shortage makes it hard to staff.
Our Dubai-based SOC and incident response team provide these capabilities as a service, fully managed or co-managed with your team, backed by Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR and leading third-party platforms.

Security Operations FAQs
What is a managed SOC?
A managed Security Operations Centre is a service where a specialist provider monitors your environment 24/7, investigates alerts, hunts for threats and responds to incidents on your behalf, using your existing tools or theirs. It gives you enterprise-grade security operations without building and staffing a SOC in-house.
Do UAE regulations require 24/7 security monitoring?
NESA/UAE IA, DESC ISR, CBUAE and ADHICS require continuous monitoring, incident detection and response capabilities, and the PDPL and CBUAE set breach-notification timelines. A managed SOC is the most practical way for most organisations to meet them.
Can you use our existing security tools?
Yes. We operate Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR natively and integrate CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Palo Alto, Splunk, QRadar, Fortinet and other platforms. Where tooling is missing, we can provide it as part of the service.
How fast do you respond to incidents?
Critical alerts are triaged within 15 minutes and containment actions such as isolating endpoints or disabling accounts begin within agreed SLAs. Our incident response retainer guarantees emergency engagement for major incidents.
Do you offer incident response without a monitoring contract?
Yes. We provide emergency incident response and digital forensics on a standalone basis and through retainers, for ransomware, business email compromise, data breaches and insider incidents.
What does security operations cost?
Pricing is based on the number of endpoints, users and data sources, the service level and whether we use your tools or ours. Contact us for a scoped proposal with a fixed monthly fee.
