Network Security Services in Saudi Arabia

Segmentation, managed firewall and intrusion detection, and a posture assessment that tells you where a flat, unmanaged network is actually exposed.

A flat network is difficult to defend and difficult to evidence

NCA ECC-2:2024's Cybersecurity Defence domain names system and network security as an explicit control area, alongside asset management and identity. In practice this means segmentation, managed firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention deployed with intent, not a flat network where anything that gets past the perimeter can reach everything behind it.

This is distinct from our connectivity services, which build and operate the network itself, MPLS, SD-WAN, site-to-site links. Network security is the layer of controls on top: who and what can reach which segment, what traffic is inspected, and what gets blocked automatically versus flagged for review.

What the service covers

Network Segmentation

Critical systems isolated onto their own segments so a compromise in one part of the network doesn't reach everything else by default.

Firewall Management

Rule sets reviewed and maintained against actual traffic patterns, not left as whatever was configured at initial deployment.

Intrusion Detection & Prevention

IDS/IPS tuned to your traffic baseline, flagging and where appropriate blocking anomalous activity before it reaches a target.

Network Posture Assessment

A structured review of segmentation, rule sets, and exposed services against the NCA ECC network security control area.

How this differs from related services

vs. Connectivity

Connectivity builds and operates the network, MPLS, SD-WAN, WAN links. Network security is the control layer on top of it, not a replacement for it.

vs. Zero Trust

Zero Trust's network pillar replaces flat VPN access with ZTNA and micro-segmentation as part of a broader identity-led architecture. Network security covers the perimeter and internal controls that apply regardless of how far along that architecture shift you are.

vs. Managed SOC & MDR

Network security controls reduce what reaches the network in the first place. Managed SOC & MDR is the monitoring and response layer for what gets through anyway.

How an engagement runs

1

Network Posture Assessment

1-2 weeks

Map current segmentation, firewall rule sets, and exposed services against the NCA ECC network security control area.

2

Prioritised Remediation

2-4 weeks

Fix in risk order, starting with flat segments holding critical systems and any internet-facing exposure that shouldn't be.

3

Firewall & IDS/IPS Tuning

2-3 weeks

Rule sets and detection thresholds tuned against your actual traffic baseline rather than left on vendor defaults.

4

Ongoing Management

Ongoing

Recurring rule review and posture re-assessment, so drift is caught at the next review rather than the next incident.

What is included

Network posture assessment against NCA ECC network security controls
Segmentation design for critical systems
Firewall rule set review and ongoing management
IDS/IPS deployment and tuning
Quarterly posture re-assessment
Recommendations mapped to NCA ECC Domain 2 evidence requirements
