24/7 SOC monitoring

Analysts in the UAE watch alerts from your endpoints, servers, firewalls, cloud and Microsoft 365 around the clock, and investigate anything suspicious.

We contain a confirmed attack remotely with actions you approve in advance, and an engineer comes to your office anywhere in Dubai when a device or network needs hands.

Email and identity

Phishing, suspicious sign-ins and risky account changes in Microsoft 365 and Entra ID flagged and dealt with quickly.

Vulnerabilities and patching

Missing patches and known vulnerabilities on your systems found, prioritized and tracked to closure with your IT team or ours.

Reports you can use

A monthly report on alerts, incidents and open risks, and a written report for every incident, for your auditors, insurers and data protection officer.

Dubai rules

Dubai rules that shape your cyber security

Dubai Law No. 15 of 2024

Dubai government entities and companies that DESC classifies as critical must follow DESC’s rules, tell DESC immediately about attacks and leaks, connect to DESC’s security operations center or one it certifies, and engage only DESC-certified security companies.

Dubai Cyber Force

DESC’s certification program with CREST. Dubai government, semi-government and critical infrastructure entities buy penetration testing and incident response only from Cyber Force certified providers.

Dubai ISR

DESC’s Information Security Regulation sets minimum security requirements for Dubai government entities. Version 3 adds a problem management process to incident management and minimum security requirements for external parties and managed services.

DESC cloud standard

Cloud services used by Dubai government and semi-government entities must be certified against DESC’s Cloud Service Provider Security Standard. Microsoft’s UAE North (Dubai) and UAE Central regions are.

DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020

A DIFC controller must report a personal data breach that compromises a person’s confidentiality, security or privacy to the Commissioner of Data Protection as soon as practicable; a processor must tell the controller without undue delay.

UAE PDPL

Outside the DIFC and ADGM, personal data falls under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, which includes duties to report personal data breaches. Fast detection makes those duties easier to meet.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Are you a cyber security company in Dubai?

Birbal AI is a UAE cyber security and AI company, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, with a security operations center staffed 24/7 in the UAE. We protect Dubai companies around the clock, and our engineers work on site anywhere in Dubai.

What cyber security services do you offer in Dubai?

24/7 SOC monitoring, managed endpoint detection and response (EDR), incident response with engineers on site, email and identity protection for Microsoft 365, vulnerability and patch tracking, and monthly security reports.

Where do your SOC analysts work?

In the UAE. Monitoring, triage and incident response run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.

Can our security logs stay in the UAE?

Yes. Monitoring can run in your own cloud tenancy in a UAE region, such as Microsoft’s UAE North region in Dubai, or on your own premises, so logs and alerts stay in the country.

What happens when you detect an attack?

An analyst confirms it and contains it with actions agreed with you in advance, such as isolating a device or disabling an account, and calls your named contacts. If a device or network needs hands, an engineer comes to your Dubai office. You get a written incident report afterwards.

How much do cyber security services cost in Dubai?

It depends on the number of users, endpoints and servers, the cloud services and log sources to watch, and how much on-site cover you need. We send a written scope and price after a short scoping call, so the cost is clear before you sign.

Do Dubai government entities need a DESC-certified provider?

Yes. Under Dubai Law No. 15 of 2024, Dubai government entities and companies that DESC classifies as critical must connect to DESC’s security operations center or one it certifies, and may engage only DESC-certified security companies. Under the Dubai Cyber Force program, government, semi-government and critical infrastructure entities buy penetration testing and incident response only from certified providers. Check the certification of any provider you shortlist.

We are in the DIFC. What happens if personal data is breached?

Under DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020, a controller must report a personal data breach that compromises a person’s confidentiality, security or privacy to the Commissioner of Data Protection as soon as practicable, and a processor must tell the controller without undue delay. Our incident reports give your data protection officer the facts needed to decide and to report.

How do I choose a cyber security company in Dubai?

Ask where the SOC team works and whether it is staffed 24/7, which actions it may take without calling you, who comes to your office during an incident, where your security logs are stored, and what the monthly report contains. If you are a Dubai government, semi-government or critical entity, also check the provider’s DESC certification for the service you need.

Do you also cover our Abu Dhabi office?

Yes. Abu Dhabi is our home city, and one contract can cover offices across the UAE.
