Help AG partners with Securonix to offer next-gen cloud SOC in UAE

Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of e& enterprise (formerly Etisalat Digital) and the region’s trusted security advisor, has become a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) partner of Securonix, Inc., a provider of Next-Gen SIEM.

The collaboration will allow Help AG to provide an integrated, cloud-based, analytics-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) proposition to clients in the UAE.

Today’s distributed landscape contains sensitive data, applications, and critical business processes. Cloud hosting, SaaS providers, mobile devices, mobile apps, and the Internet of Things (IoT) all collect, process, and store data, making infrastructure scaling and providing immediate value difficult.

Securonix provides the SaaS-based, multi-tenant security analytics, operations, and response platform, which provides complete visibility, advanced detection and response, and limitless scalability. Help AG is expanding its service portfolio by partnering with Securonix to offer a Next-Gen Cloud SOC offering that combines SIEM and UEBA capabilities in a unified platform to deliver unrivaled detection and response capabilities at cloud scale.

Commenting on the partnership, Stephan Berner, Chief Executive Officer at Help AG, said: “Help AG has taken a pioneering role in the region when it comes to secure cloud enablement, and our collaboration with Securonix comes at a critical juncture as UAE organizations across all sectors increasingly migrate to the cloud. The partnership brings together Securonix’s cloud-first, analytics-driven SIEM and UEBA with Help AG’s deep expertise and threat intelligence capabilities for swift detection and remediation.”

He added: “Our collaboration highlights Help AG’s position as the largest and leading MSSP in the region, constantly upgrading our service offering to meet the emerging needs of regional organizations. Additionally, the partnership supports Help AG’s ambition to offer 90% of our deliverables as a service in the coming three years, under our “Help AG as a Service” model.”

David Wagner, Vice President, Global MSSPs and SIs at Securonix, said: “Accelerated cloud adoption has underscored the importance of analytics-driven threat detection and response and visibility across multiple technology layers. Our partnership with Help AG will drive increased adoption of our cloud-native security analytics and operations platform in the UAE market, working hand-in-hand to secure vital cloud and hybrid environments in the region.”

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM achieves advanced detection at scale by combining log management, analytics, automation, and response capabilities into a single, unified solution. The SIEM solution collects massive amounts of data in real time, utilizing machine learning to provide visibility and advanced threat detection and response at cloud scale to security teams.
