Implementing Cortex XSOAR in Canada for UAE enterprises.
CWS authors XSOAR playbooks for common Canadian SOC scenarios: phishing response, malware containment, account compromise, alert triage. Engagements include integration testing, runbook documentation, and SOC analyst training.
Engagements are scoped on a fixed-fee SOW with weekly review checkpoints and named senior engineer ownership. CWS holds PCNSC, PCNSE, and Prisma SASE APS certifications, with named platform specialisations across Software Firewall, Hardware Firewall, and Prisma Cloud. Bilingual handover artifacts in English plus a second language are produced where audit and operations teams require them.
Common engagement shapes.
Three patterns that recur in UAE engagements. Each starts with a fixed-scope assessment and progresses through implementation into managed operations where the customer wants steady-state coverage.
- 01
Canadian bank automating phishing email triage to reduce mean time to triage by ~70%
