Mekdam Technology is a leading service provider in Qatar, recognized for their contribution in developing various technological sectors that have helped to build Qatar into one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. Being one of the first technology conglomerates in Qatar, Mekdam Technology provides a wide range of services including ICT, safety & security systems, engineering, and cyber security.
The company has accumulated significant knowledge of cyber security threats in the region and established expertise in the latest security tools to ensure their clients are well-equipped to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats continuously. As many organizations in the region are targeted by hackers in high-profile attempts to steal confidential data, Mekdam Technology partners with ThreatDefence to deliver superior abilities in analyzing customer environments and detecting hidden threats and indicators of compromise from advanced threat groups.
ThreatDefence equipped Mekdam Technology's team to deliver comprehensive assessment and post-breach reviews to high-profile customers in the region. Combining machine learning, AI, security analysis, and human-powered threat hunting, ThreatDefence detects and categorizes anomalies in customer networks and detects threat actor activity.
Osman Hafiz, Cyber Security Consultant at Mekdam Technology, stated, "Security monitoring helps to reveal malicious activity in real-time, but if there is hand-crafted malware dormant on the network, waiting to be activated, it might be very difficult to detect it." He added that digital supply chain attacks become a significant concern, as threat actors always seek to use 3rd party software to gain initial access to secure networks. ThreatDefence provides this level of visibility, where the team can interrogate any software package on the network and understand its behavior, even if it looks benign on the outside.
Mekdam Technology and ThreatDefence worked together to gain visibility across the entire environment of a large manufacturing company institution in Qatar that was required to conduct a Compromise Assessment on all corporate endpoints in a very short timeframe. In just two weeks, the customer had contained few compromised endpoints and accounts, and also obtained assurance that the rest of the environment was clear from any malicious activity.
"ThreatDefence provided a great balance between applied machine learning and advanced security analytics and in-depth analysis by security experts," said Osman. "During the engagement, we were impressed with ThreatDefence SecOps technology, as it helped us to seize large environments quickly and discover shadow IT systems."
