Updated August 2026Azizi Technologies runs cybersecurity for Dubai businesses as an operations service, not a product sale - because the tooling is only as good as the team watching it.

What we cover
EDR + 24/7 MDR
Real-time threat detection on every endpoint. SOC team responds in <15 min.
Email security + anti-phishing
Microsoft 365 hardening, attachment sandboxing, URL rewriting, DMARC.
MFA + identity protection
Mandatory MFA, conditional access, dark-web credential monitoring.
Network security + firewall
Managed next-gen firewall, VPN, IDS/IPS, network segmentation.
ISO 27001 / SOC 2 prep
Gap analysis, policy authoring, evidence collection, audit facilitation.
Penetration testing
External, internal, web app, social engineering. Executive + technical reports.
Inside a protected network
Managed firewall, EDR on every device and staff who have met a phishing attempt before the real one — sized for Dubai SMEs.
The stack
Each layer covers a different failure mode. Buying one without the others leaves a gap that gets found.
Detection and containment on the device itself, so a compromised laptop is isolated before it reaches the file server.
A team watching the alerts out of hours, with sub-15-minute response on high-severity events.
Phishing filters, attachment sandboxing, URL rewriting, and DMARC, SPF and DKIM configured properly.
Enforced multi-factor, conditional access, and joiner-mover-leaver so departed staff lose access the same day.
Scanning plus actual patch management. Finding the hole and fixing it are handled by the same team.
ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI-DSS: gap analysis, policy authoring, evidence collection and audit facilitation.
Managed security vs tools alone
Most Dubai SMBs already own security tooling. What they usually lack is anyone reading what it produces.
| Azizi MDR | Licences on their own | |
|---|---|---|
| Out-of-hours alerts | Watched and actioned 24/7 | Queued until someone logs in |
| Who fixes what is found | The same team that found it | Raised as a ticket to somebody else |
| Tuning | Ongoing, so alert fatigue does not set in | Default rules, ignored within a month |
| Incident response | Committed engagement time on retainer | Best effort, whoever is free |
| Evidence for insurers | Written report as standard | Reconstructed after the fact |
| Compliance | Controls mapped to ISO 27001 | Tooling with no framework behind it |
| Cost shape | Fixed monthly against user count | Licences, plus whatever the breach costs |

When something gets through
Prevention is the goal, but response is the test. When a Dubai business calls us mid-incident - a mailbox quietly forwarding invoices, a file server encrypting itself, a supplier reporting strange emails from your domain - the first hour decides the damage. Our incident workflow isolates affected machines, preserves evidence, cuts attacker access, restores from clean backups, and produces the written report your management and insurer will ask for. Clients on a response retainer get a committed engagement time and an engineer who already knows their network; everyone else gets our best effort in the queue.
The economics point one way: security runs best inside a managed agreement rather than as a stack of one-off projects. Bundled into an IT AMC or a full managed IT contract, the same team that patches your systems and verifies your backups is the team watching the security telemetry - so detection, response and recovery are one accountable workflow instead of three vendors pointing at each other. Smaller teams should start with the SME security baseline.
Vendor neutral
Security tooling is chosen against your size, your existing stack and who will administer it day to day. An excellent product nobody has time to manage is worse than a simpler one that gets watched.
Fortinet
FortiGate firewalls and the wider Security Fabric. Our usual recommendation where you want one vendor across firewall, switching and Wi-Fi.
Sophos
Firewall plus endpoint with synchronised security between them, which suits smaller teams without a dedicated security person.
SonicWall
Firewall and secure remote access, common in existing Dubai estates we take over and continue to support.
Microsoft Defender
Already licensed in many Microsoft 365 plans, and increasingly the pragmatic choice if you are already in that ecosystem.
Licence check first
We check what you already own before recommending anything new. Clients frequently hold security licences they are not using.
Finding us
The security team works from Concord Tower in Dubai Media City, with a second office in the IT Center Building in Bur Dubai. Monitoring runs around the clock; the people who would turn up during an incident are in the same city as you.
That matters most in the first hour of a breach, when isolating a machine, preserving evidence and getting someone in front of a server are all easier locally than through a ticket queue abroad.
DIFC-regulated finance, law firms, healthcare clinics, real-estate brokerages handling KYC data, retail under PCI-DSS, and SMBs that simply need a baseline that holds.
A free one-hour consultation, then a written posture audit quoted against your infrastructure. The audit fee is credited against your first three months if you go ahead with MDR.
