How Solus Insurance Enhanced Security with Enterprise Cybersecurity

Solus Insurance (DIFC) - Cybersecurity & Compliance

Challenge

Solus Insurance manages highly sensitive financial and customer data within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Their legacy security stack had grown organically, leaving blind spots across remote endpoints and Azure cloud workloads.

Facing strict new compliance requirements from the UAE NESA and DFSA frameworks, Solus needed enterprise-grade threat detection, instant incident response, and a Zero Trust posture without slowing down their brokers.

Solution

We deployed a comprehensive Zero Trust cybersecurity architecture featuring centralized 24/7 SOC monitoring, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) hardening, and micro-segmented network access.

The deployment included firewall policy optimization, automated phishing simulation for brokers, and a structured Incident Response payload entirely aligned to DFSA regulatory compliance standards.

Results

✓
Reduced average ransomware/threat detection time from hours to under 4 minutes
✓
100% EDR visibility across all DIFC offices and remote broker laptops
✓
False-positive security alerts reduced by 42% within 90 days
✓
Successfully passed annual DFSA IT audits with zero critical findings
✓
Automated containment isolates infected endpoints in seconds
“We gained visibility across our entire multi-cloud environment and a clear response plan. Security is now an automated compliance asset, not a daily IT headache.”
