Discover Our Security Assement Services UAE

At Ahad, we offer a diverse range of security assessment services designed to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and strengthen security controls across various aspects of your organization's digital infrastructure. Our services include:

Vulnerability Assessment

One of the major security assessment services is vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Systems and devices are vulnerable to cyber threats for various reasons: programming errors in the operating system, undetected bugs, and newer vulnerabilities arising due to increased interconnectivity. While vendors release patches to address these vulnerabilities when they are identified, your business cannot afford to wait for the manufacturer or developer to release a patch. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing describes a broad range of security assessment services designed to identify and help address cyber security exposures across an organization’s IT estate.

Why? Because every moment that a vulnerability remains unaddressed is a moment that pushes you closer to a major security breach. The WannaCry ransomware, which infected more than 200,000 systems across the globe, capitalized on the EternalBlue exploit that remained unpatched on older Windows computers.

A vulnerability assessment helps you address this by identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing the security weaknesses in a system and their root causes. Using both system and application vulnerability scans, these semi-automated vulnerability scans can check and report whether patches or updates have been installed, bugs removed, and systems securely configured. Our assessors then carefully review the results to'sift out’ false positives and check whether any vulnerabilities still remain unaddressed before implementing the most relevant plan of action. Through comprehensive vulnerability assessments, we conduct in-depth analysis of your IT environment to identify known security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. We provide prioritized recommendations for remediation to mitigate risks effectively.

Penetration Testing

The best way to know how vulnerable your enterprise is to attack the network, just like a cybercriminal would, is in a controlled environment. This is exactly what our red team services UAE does with penetration testing. They test the security strength at each node by leveraging a multitude of attack vectors, tools, and methodologies with the end goal of gaining unauthorized access to confidential data and applications. The findings are used to create a detailed report explaining how the system was broken into, where from, and steps to implement to mitigate the risk of future breaches.

Application Security Assessments

Like vulnerable assessment and penetration testing, application security assessment aims at exposing the vulnerabilities on the application layer and covers the risk assessment at a deeper level. A series of manual tests, combined with automation testing through specialized tools, are used to expose the possible loopholes in your enterprise applications. Doing so provides probabilistic data on a particular gap being exploited and provides a risk profile for each component of the application.

Our team of application security experts uses their experience in application development and security to exploit all possible logical and coding errors in every enterprise application that you use. Once all such potential issues are exposed, they also help create impactful solutions to address these vulnerabilities and improve your enterprise's resilience.

Social Engineering Assessment

According to popular belief, hacking, security breaches, and cyber-attacks are conducted by genius individuals who have strong coding and technical know-how, can read and understand code better than any normal person, and pose a threat to any system in the world, no matter how secure.

In reality, these genius-level cybercriminals are few and far between. The proliferation of automated attack toolkits and sophisticated designer malware in the darker areas of the World Wide Web has made it possible for amateurs to attack enterprises and exploit vulnerabilities.

And human beings—the weakest links in your enterprise security value chain—are often the target of these attack campaigns. Cybercriminals gather unprotected personal information about human users before launching innovative social engineering attacks, using them as an attack vector to compromise enterprise security or confidential data. When this happens, the strongest security systems, built after spending millions of dollars, can become ineffective at stopping a breach.

Our team uses social engineering assessments to identify how vulnerable your business is to such attacks. By gaining your employee’s trust, exploiting their naivety, or capitalizing on low security awareness, we gain unauthorized access to your systems, applications, and data to highlight the risk that social engineering attacks pose to your enterprise. We also conduct strong security awareness and sensitization modules to ensure that your employees are no longer as vulnerable to social engineering attacks.

Open-Source Intelligence

Open-source intelligence, or OSINT, refers to the information or data that is available in the public domain and can help you strengthen your knowledge base about potential threats and malicious cyber entities. This typically contains information such as DNS, Whois, webpages, passive DNS, spam blacklists, file meta data, and threat intelligence lists, as well as services like SHODAN and many more. Our security assessment services UAE help you assimilate OSINT into your enterprise security measures to make them more resilient to cyber-attacks and other threats in the digital realm.

Compromise Assessment

It is always possible that your network and IT systems might already be compromised by an external or internal attack, malware, ransomware, cloud services, or unauthorized software. Through compromise assessment, we highlight these already-present threats in your enterprise IT architecture and ensure that the required steps are taken to mitigate the risk that they present to your business.

Security Awareness Training

Besides active threat campaigns, security issues can arise on account of low digital literacy or cybersecurity awareness or as a result of a moment of carelessness on the employees’ part. Our training and educational programs are precision-tailored to address this aspect and empower your staff to deal with all such possible threats.

As part of the program, the participant will learn about technical threats (for employees in the technology departments) and social engineering attacks (for all employees). Strategic training and educational programs can ensure that everybody in the workforce minimizes the surface area of risk and becomes the human line of defense in safeguarding confidential information.
