SUR
Cybersecurity Services in Sur
Sur is Oman's south-eastern industrial and logistics hub — concentrated around the LNG plant, the port, shipbuilding, and downstream petrochemicals. Cybersecurity engagements in Sur are dominated by oil & gas OT environments and the regulatory layer that comes with critical-infrastructure designation. Geographic separation from Muscat makes resilient connectivity and remote SOC operations a baseline requirement, not an optional add.
Capabilities
What AHAT delivers
Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC)
24/7 monitoring, detection, and response from AHAT's in-house SOC. SIEM and XDR tooling, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned playbooks, and analyst rotation across day, evening, and overnight shifts.
Penetration Testing & Security Assessment
MTCIT-aligned vulnerability assessment and penetration testing — network, application, cloud, social-engineering — with reporting calibrated for procurement, audit, and regulator review.
Incident Response & Forensics
Containment, eradication, and recovery support when something goes wrong. Time-to-acknowledge and time-to-contain SLAs in writing; post-incident reporting suitable for board and regulator audiences.
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Phishing-resistant MFA, privileged-access management, and zero-trust architecture rollouts for organisations standardising on Microsoft, Okta, or hybrid identity stacks.
Compliance & Advisory (vCISO)
ISO 27001 readiness, MTCIT preparedness, TRA licensing support, and ongoing virtual-CISO engagements for organisations that need senior security leadership without a full-time hire.
