Dubai - MENA Herald: du has launched next-generation Cyber Security services encompassing Security Monitoring and Analytics as well as Firewall Management Services to protect businesses across the UAE from cybercrime.

The du Enterprise Security Operations Centre (SOC) uses some of the most innovative and advanced cyber security platforms hosted in the UAE that have been built to adapt, learn and evolve with new security threats. The SOC is operated by a dedicated team of security experts and provides 24x7 Security Monitoring, Incident Detection and Response.

“Cybercrime both globally and in the UAE has matured and with new threats are emerging minute by minute and hour by hour. We have chosen to deploy next generation cyber security services with our enterprise SOC in order to safeguard digital enterprises against cyber-attacks with end-to-end advisory, protection and security monitoring services. This gives our customers a secure and reliable IT environment to roll out new services, adopt new ways of work and grow their businesses with confidence,” said Hany Fahmy Aly, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Business at du.

du has combined leading technologies with highly skilled security analysts to deliver a proactive and predictive approach to securing and managing critical areas of users, applications, endpoints and infrastructure. du enterprise SOC is able to rapidly detect and respond to security events with a proven process-driven approach to detecting, qualifying, investigating and mitigating threats.

“In an increasingly complex digital world, organisations of all kinds want effective security services that help them to protect their business operations. Our enterprise SOC supports a portfolio of next generation cyber security services that enable customers to achieve their strategic objectives securely and efficiently. Rather than building in-house solutions, they rely on trusted experts and our innovative tools to protect both their profits and reputations,” Aly added.

Its cyber security services include Security Monitoring and Analytics as a Service and Firewall Management Services using the LogRhythm next generation SIEM. du’s Cyber Security ecosystem delivers industry-leading SLAs encompassing Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) which enables customers to reduce the impact of security threats on their operations and benefit from a rapid response to incidents.

On 9 October, du will be hosting its third Cyber Security Conference, promoting the sharing information about the latest developments in cyber security, including information security risks, threats, vulnerabilities and safeguards.
