Help AG, the cybersecurity arm of e&, has achieved the CyberForce Security Operations Centre (SOC) certification from the Dubai<\/a> Electronic Security Center (DESC). This makes Help AG among the first to complete all three CyberForce certifications, having previously been recognised for its Incident Response and Penetration Testing services.<\/p>\n

The milestone provides independent validation of Help AG\u2019s SOC capabilities, including the people, processes, governance, monitoring and incident response functions that underpin its Managed Security Services (MSS) offering. It demonstrates compliance with Dubai\u2019s cybersecurity standards for adaptive security operations and reinforces Help AG\u2019s ability to support government entities, critical infrastructure operators and enterprise organisations with trusted security services.<\/p>\n

The achievement builds on Help AG\u2019s long-standing commitment to supporting the UAE\u2019s cybersecurity priorities and the secure adoption of emerging technologies. As organisations embrace increasingly intelligent and interconnected digital environments, trusted security operations are becoming essential to maintaining resilience, governance, and confidence in critical services.<\/p>\n

The certification further strengthens Help AG\u2019s position as a leading provider of managed security services in the region and reflects its continued focus on advancing cybersecurity governance, service maturity, and operational resilience in response to an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving threat landscape.<\/p>\n

Dr Aleksandar Valjarevic, Acting Chief Executive Officer at Help AG, said: <\/b><\/strong>\u201cAchieving the CyberForce certification for our UAE Cyber Defence Centre is a significant milestone for Help AG and a strong endorsement of the expertise and service excellence that underpin our offering. We see it as an important validation of our ability to deliver trusted, high-quality managed security services that meet rigorous government-defined standards.<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

Our in-country, sovereign SOC, powered by advanced automation and local expertise, is designed to help organisations embrace innovation securely while maintaining resilience, trust and operational control.\u201d<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n
