What CyberSec Consulting does

CyberSec Consulting is a privately held cybersecurity professional services and consulting firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with branch offices in Delhi and London. The company delivers a broad portfolio spanning advisory and consulting, implementation and engineering, managed identity services, technical support-as-a-service, staff augmentation, contractual project-based hiring, threat assessment (red/blue/purple teaming), training, and specialized security testing across cloud, network, endpoint, IoT, and data protection domains.

The firm operates a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on three flagship service lines: Managed Identity Services (continuous oversight of IAM/PAM platforms including SailPoint, CyberArk, One Identity, Azure AD, and Okta), AI Security Services (governance frameworks, adversarial testing, NHI governance aligned to NIST AI RMF, OWASP LLM Top 10, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act), and two subscription managed services — CyberSec Pulse (SME-focused) and CyberSec Shield (always-on enterprise subscription with vCISO). Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based professional services, recurring managed services subscriptions, staff augmentation billings, and authorized training programs across 20+ technology vendors and 10+ certification bodies.

The company targets enterprise and government clients in the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt), the UK, South Africa, and India, with primary verticals including government and ministries, BFSI, oil and gas, telecom and aviation, and utilities. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, supported by vendor partnerships, published case studies, client testimonials, and annual industry events. The firm holds 101–250 employees, is privately funded with a single disclosed $500K round in 2019, and is led by CEO Anuj Jain.
