At GITEX Global 2023, Group-IB will spotlight Managed XDR – a fully integrated security solution that identifies threats in real time and centralizes, correlates, and analyzes mountains of data across all endpoints in real time, enabling security teams to take immediate action. Group-IB Managed XDR’s proactive threat hunting framework, which stands alongside its malware detonation functionalities and Group-IB’s highly renowned incident response capabilities, make it the right choice for businesses looking to secure their entire infrastructure.

In addition to Managed XDR, Group-IB will highlight Attack Surface Management, a pioneering cybersecurity solution that allows security teams to assess all external IT assets across their enterprise, along with the company’s Security Operations Center (SOC) consulting capabilities. Experts from Group-IB’s core business units, such as Threat Intelligence, Fraud Protection, Digital Risk Protection, Digital Forensics, Incident Response, and High-Tech Crime Investigations will also be in attendance.

Group-IB remains at the forefront of researching and responding to the ever-evolving threat landscape in the MEA region. In collaboration with the UAE Cybersecurity Council, the company has recently published research shedding light on the Classiscam scam-as-a-service operation. Additionally, Group-IB uncovered an elaborate investment scam targeting users in the Middle East and around the world. In one particular case seen by Group-IB researchers, this operation could potentially have netted the scammers $280,000 over a four-month period, highlighting the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures in the region.

In September 2023, Group-IB announced the launch of its innovative new education hub at its Dubai-based Digital Crime Resistance Center located in Dubai Internet City. At this new facility, Group-IB offers a high-quality, analyst-led cybersecurity training and simulation experience across its custom and core modules to upskill cybersecurity and IT professionals in the MEA region.
