GEC NEWS WIREPaladion launched the first AI-driven SOC in the Middle East to protect enterprises in the region from next-generation threats. The AI-driven SOC is located in Dubai, UAE, and will service customers in the MEA region. Paladion’s AI-Driven SOC is a response to changes in the global and regional threat landscape. Globally, cyber criminals have begun to deploy their own AI-driven cyber-attacks. They are using AI platforms to increase the volume, sophistication, and creativity of their attacks. They are taking advantage of new vulnerability points that digitization has introduced. Organizations now face more threat data than they can process. Only an AI-driven cyber defense can combat this growing volume of threat data and next generation threats.
Organizations in the Middle East are not only attacked by general global bad actors, they are also targeted by local “Hacktivists”. These attacks are well-funded and politically motivated. These Hacktivists believe they can cripple a country by attacking its largest organizations. They are creating new, targeted attacks that are impossible to detect and defend against using traditional approaches to cyber security. Paladion’s AI-Driven SOC in Dubai is built to combat this volatile threat landscape in the Middle East.
“Our region faces a severe cyber security skills shortage, and limited resources to defend against our escalating attacks, our AI-Driven SOCs addresses this gap,” explains Amit Roy, EVP & Regional Head –EMEA at Paladion. He adds, “The UAE government’s vision to be the city of the future with the early and right of adoption of Artificial Intelligence requires an equally robust and quick adoption of AI-Driven Cyber Defenses. Paladion’s AI-driven SOC brings this advanced, critical cyber security capabilities for the Middle East to help enterprises tackle today’s sophisticated and creative cyber-attacks.”
Paladion’s AI-Driven SOC—also known as the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Command Center—plugs the regional SOC to their Global Security Operations Center, providing the Middle East with advanced, up-to-date protection from global treats. The MDR Command Center deploys Paladion’s own AI platform—AI.saac—to provide advanced, agile defense to the region’s enterprises.
