A Security Operations Center (SOC) provides 24/7 monitoring, detection, and response to cybersecurity threats. For UAE businesses, the threat landscape is severe — cyberattacks targeting UAE organizations increased 70%+ in the past year, with ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks leading the threat list.
Building an in-house SOC costs AED 2-3 million annually (analysts, SIEM tools, facilities). A managed SOC provides the same capabilities at 60-80% lower cost, with immediate operational readiness instead of the 6-12 months needed to build from scratch.
Bayden operates a managed SOC service for UAE businesses. We deploy SIEM (Azure Sentinel or Splunk), configure detection rules tuned for UAE threat intelligence, and provide 24/7 monitoring with Arabic/English incident response. Our SOC team handles everything from alert triage to full incident response.
Our managed SOC service starts at AED 15,000/month for basic 24/7 monitoring (small organizations). Full managed detection and response (MDR) with SIEM, incident response, and quarterly reporting runs AED 25,000-50,000/month. Compare this to AED 200,000+/month for an in-house SOC with 5+ analysts, SIEM licensing, and facilities.
Azure Sentinel for organizations using Microsoft 365 and Azure — it integrates natively with Microsoft's security ecosystem. Splunk for complex, multi-vendor environments requiring advanced analytics and custom dashboards. We configure either platform with detection rules tuned for your environment.
Basic monitoring can start within 2-3 weeks of engagement. Full SOC with custom detection rules and tuned alerts takes 4-6 weeks. We prioritize getting visibility into your environment quickly, then refine detection accuracy over the first 90 days.
Yes. Our SOC service is aligned with NESA (National Electronic Security Authority) standards including continuous monitoring, incident detection and response, threat intelligence integration, and monthly security reporting. We provide documentation for NESA compliance audits.
