e& UAE has launched a new secure hosting service designed to help government entities, enterprises and medium-sized businesses strengthen the security, resilience and availability of their websites.
The managed service provides locally hosted website infrastructure supported by continuous network and security monitoring, giving organisations greater visibility into their digital environments while helping them address operational risks and meet local regulatory, cybersecurity and data residency requirements.
Local Infrastructure With 24/7 Monitoring
The service is hosted within the company’s on-premises data centres and operates under the oversight of the UAE Cyber Security Council.
Designed for public-facing and business-critical websites, the secure hosting service combines website infrastructure with continuous operational and security oversight from the company’s Network Operations Centre (NOC) and Security Operations Centre (SOC).
This integrated model is intended to give customers greater control over website security, availability and performance while reducing operational complexity.
NOC and SOC Provide Continuous Visibility
e&’s NOC continuously monitors website performance, availability and overall network health.
At the same time, the SOC provides around-the-clock visibility into security events, cyber threats and potential vulnerabilities.
By bringing these capabilities together, the service enables organisations to identify potential issues at an earlier stage and support faster incident response. This can help reduce downtime and maintain continuity across digital services.
Cyber Resilience Requires Security by Design
His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Hamad Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cyber Security for the UAE Government, said that as government and business services become increasingly digital, website availability, data protection and incident readiness need to form part of a broader approach to cyber resilience.
He stressed the importance of embedding security into the design and operation of digital infrastructure, maintaining clear oversight of data and systems, and ensuring that appropriate monitoring and response measures are in place.
e& UAE Brings Hosting, Network and Security Together
Abdulla Al Ahmed, Chief Government & VVIP Relations Officer, e& UAE, said that the growing dependence of organisations on digital services makes it increasingly important to manage website availability and cybersecurity within the same environment.
He explained that the company’s secure hosting service brings together infrastructure, network operations and security operations, providing customers with local hosting, continuous visibility and responsive support.
According to Al Ahmed, the model can help government entities and businesses reduce operational complexity, strengthen the protection of their digital services and scale their infrastructure as their requirements evolve.
Layered Protection for Websites and Applications
The service includes a range of built-in security controls designed to support a layered approach to website and application protection.
These controls include firewalls, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection and log monitoring.
Customers can also access advanced security capabilities, including Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection, vulnerability assessments and security reporting.
Together, these capabilities provide organisations with additional tools for identifying and addressing security risks affecting their websites and applications.
Local Hosting Supports Data Residency and Performance
Hosting websites locally within e& UAE infrastructure provides customers with potential benefits including reduced latency and greater control over data residency.
The service also offers flexible hosting capacity, allowing organisations to scale their resources according to changing demand, business expansion and broader digital transformation programmes.
This flexibility is designed to support organisations as their website traffic, operational requirements and digital services evolve.
Managed Service Reduces IT Operational Burden
The service-level agreements cover key areas such as availability, support and incident response, providing customers with clearly defined service parameters.
Customers can also benefit from access to the company’s technical expertise as part of the managed service model.
By bringing hosting, monitoring and security capabilities together through a single provider, the service is designed to reduce the operational workload placed on internal IT teams while providing an integrated approach to website infrastructure and protection.
Designed for Critical and High-Traffic Websites
The secure hosting service is aimed at government organisations, enterprises and medium-sized businesses operating public-facing, high-traffic or business-critical websites.
It also targets IT, cybersecurity and digital transformation teams looking for locally hosted infrastructure supported by continuous operational and security oversight.
The offering is therefore positioned for organisations that require a combination of local infrastructure, website availability, cybersecurity monitoring and responsive operational support.
Support for Website Migration and Deployment
Customers interested in the service can contact their e& UAE account manager or visit the company’s business website to request additional information.
They can also request a technical assessment or obtain support with migrating and deploying their websites on e& UAE infrastructure.
Through this approach, e& UAE brings local hosting, continuous monitoring, security capabilities and technical support into a managed environment designed to support the evolving requirements of digital organisations.
