Create playbooks that automatically isolate compromised assets or block malicious IPs without human intervention. Predictive Defense: Deploy AI-driven network monitoring to detect behavioral anomalies in our self-hosted infrastructure (e.g., zero-day attacks or lateral movement) that traditional rules might miss.
3. Infrastructure &amp; Network Security (Self-Hosted)
Hardening: Oversee the security hardening of our self-hosted environments (Kubernetes clusters, Docker containers, and Linux servers). Traffic Analysis: Manage WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules and DDoS protection layers, ensuring high availability for our customers. Secrets Management: Enforce strict secrets management (e.g., Vault) to ensure no credentials are hardcoded in the application.
4. GRC (Governance, Risk &amp; Compliance)
Regulatory Adherence: Ensure our SSDLC and operations strictly adhere to SAMA&rsquo;s Cybersecurity Framework and NCA&rsquo;s Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC).
