Cloud Security Services
Tailored for Saudi Arabia

Cloud Security Posture Assessment (CSPM):

Identify misconfigurations and compliance gaps across your cloud infrastructure to reduce risk and maintain continuous security hygiene.

Cloud Workloads Permission Management:

Discover, analyze, and govern permissions across cloud infrastructure. Enforce least-privilege access to cloud workloads with continuous risk-based controls.

Network and Application Layer Protection:

Deploy layered security controls like firewalls, WAFs, and micro-segmentation to shield your cloud workloads from lateral movement and exploits.

Security Architecture Design:

Design scalable, compliant security architectures tailored for AWS, Azure, or GCP — built for Saudi regulatory and operational demands.

Endpoint Security:

Provide security measures for devices accessing cloud services (Patching, hardening, Encryption, Antivirus).

Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP):

Secure cloud-native applications from code to runtime with integrated vulnerability and runtime threat protection.

Identity and Access Management (IAM):

Implement least-privilege, role-based access controls and identity federation to protect your cloud assets from internal and external misuse.

Single Sign-On (SSO) and Federation:

Enable seamless and secure user access across cloud applications with federated authentication.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

Strengthen login security across cloud apps with layered authentication methods (SMS, app-based, biometrics).

Passwordless Authentication with Windows Hello:

Enable secure, frictionless access using biometrics, FIDO2, or device-based trust, eliminating password risk.

Privileged Identity Management:

Control, monitor, and audit privileged access to critical systems and data. Minimize risk by granting just-in-time, time-bound admin access with full visibility and approval workflows.

Access Review and Recertification:

Automate periodic access reviews to validate user entitlements. Reduce insider risk and meet audit requirements with centralized access recertification workflows.

ID Verification:

Digitally verify identities using biometric, document, or federated methods. Strengthen onboarding, compliance, and remote access with secure identity proofing.

Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR):

Detect and respond to identity-based threats such as lateral movement, privilege abuse, and compromised credentials. Integrate behavior analytics and identity telemetry for proactive defense.

Threat Intelligence and Monitoring:

Provide proactive threat detection systems and continuous monitoring capabilities.

Email Security:

Protect against phishing, spoofing, malware, and business email compromise (BEC). Enforce advanced filtering, encryption, and threat intelligence to secure email communication.

Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR):

Automate incident response processes and integrate workflows across security tools.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM):

Aggregate and correlate logs for real-time threat detection and incident investigation.

Behavior Analytics and Anomaly Detection:

Detect insider threats and compromised accounts through machine learning-based behavior analysis. 

MXDR360 Powered by Microsoft XDR and Sentinel:

Get unified threat detection and response across endpoints, cloud, and identities. Leverage Microsoft Defender XDR and Sentinel SIEM for 24/7 monitoring and response.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB):

Gain visibility and control overcloud app usage and enforce policy across SaaS environments.​

SaaS Applications Security Posture Management (SSPM):

Continuously assess and improve the security configuration of SaaS applications. Monitor for misconfigurations, enforce compliance, and reduce third-party app risks.

Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP):

Monitor, classify, and control sensitive data in transit and at rest preventing unauthorized access or accidental exposure.

Information Rights Management:

Protect documents and emails with encryption, access restrictions, and usage controls. Ensure data confidentiality even when content leaves your environment.

Data Classification Consulting Services for Microsoft Purview:

Implement custom data classification policies using Microsoft Purview. Identify, label, and protect sensitive information across your data estate.

Modern Device & Application Management with Microsoft Intune:

Manage endpoints and apps securely with Microsoft Intune. Enable policy enforcement, remote wipe, compliance checks, and seamless device onboarding.

Compliance Manager Solution:

Use Microsoft Compliance Manager to track, manage, and report compliance with global standards. Simplify audits with real-time risk scores and control mapping.

Zero Trust Security for Applications Access:

Secure app access with a Zero Trust approach. Verify explicitly, enforce least privilege, and assume breach. Apply adaptive policies based on user, device, and risk context.
