// Top 8 security actions for GCC organisations — based on 2025 UAE threat data

01

Enable MFA everywhere

AI phishing bypasses passwords. Enable authenticator-app MFA on UAE Pass, M365, banking. SMS codes are insufficient.

02

Verify .gov.ae links

Most common GCC lure: fake government portals. Bookmark official .gov.ae sites — never click email/SMS links.

03

3-2-1 Backup rule

3 copies, 2 media types, 1 air-gapped. UAE ransomware up 267% — offline backups are your last line of defence.

04

Patch within 24 hours

43% of UAE IT was not future-ready (Kyndryl 2024). Unpatched systems are the #1 initial entry point.

05

Arabic social engineering

AI now generates perfect Arabic phishing. Be suspicious of any urgent Arabic message requesting credentials or payments.

06

Mobile EDR — not just AV

Banking malware on mobile up 11% in 2024. Install enterprise EDR on company phones — your biggest unprotected surface.

07

Zero Trust — not VPN only

27% of UAE incidents caused by misconfiguration. Implement ZTNA for remote workers — VPNs alone are insufficient.

08

Dark web monitoring

Your credentials may already be for sale. UAE healthcare/fintech data was dumped on dark web forums in 2025. Monitor now.

Trusted across the Gulf

From SMEs to government entities — here's the impact EyesOn has delivered.

After a ransomware attempt on our ERP, EyesOn had EDR deployed across 200+ endpoints within 72 hours and identified two additional dormant threats we didn't know existed.

CTO
Regional Logistics Group, Dubai

The NESA compliance pack they prepared cut our audit preparation from 6 months to 3 weeks. Their team understands government procurement requirements in a way international vendors simply don't.

CS
CISO
Government Entity, Abu Dhabi

Our staff were clicking phishing links at a 34% rate. After EyesOn's Arabic-language awareness training and email security deployment, we're under 3%. The ROI was immediate and measurable.
