Managed IT and cyber security for regulated firms in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Managed IT and cyber security for regulated firms in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Cre8 IT (Create IT) watches your devices, Microsoft 365 accounts and systems around the clock. Threats are investigated by human security analysts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and our own engineers follow up with you to fix the cause and keep you running.
Many serious attacks start out of hours: a stolen password used at 2am, or ransomware launched on a Friday night. Antivirus alone can’t stop an attacker who is already signed in as one of your staff.
Our managed security service puts trained analysts behind your systems at all times. When something suspicious happens, they investigate and contain it, for example by isolating a device, and alert us so we can work with you on the fix.
One service that combines round-the-clock monitoring, response and the engineers who already know your systems.
Security analysts watch alerts around the clock and separate real threats from noise, so you are not chasing false alarms.
Endpoint detection and response on every device, with analysts who can isolate a machine or stop a process while an attack is under way.
Monitoring of sign-ins, mailbox rules and admin changes in Microsoft 365, where most account takeovers and invoice fraud begin.
When a threat is confirmed, our engineers work with you to contain it, recover systems and close the gap that let it in.
Regular patching and checks for weaknesses, so fewer attacks get a foothold in the first place.
Regular reports and incident records that show regulators, auditors and clients your security controls are working.
Threats are watched and acted on 24/7 by security analysts. Our own engineers then respond to you under our standard service levels:
Service levels can be tailored to your requirements. Faster response times are available at additional cost.
We review your devices, Microsoft 365 and current security tools, and agree what needs protecting.
We roll out the detection and response agents and connect Microsoft 365, with no disruption to your team.
Analysts watch for threats 24/7 and act quickly to contain anything suspicious.
You get regular reports, incident records and advice on what to improve next.
We have supported businesses since 2012 from our office in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with engineers in the UAE, KSA and the UK. Because we also run your IT, there is no hand-over gap between whoever spots a threat and whoever fixes it.
We are ISO 27001:2022 certified, so the way we handle your data and your incidents is independently audited.
