FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which Palo Alto certifications does CWS hold?

CWS holds PCNSC, PCNSE, and Prisma SASE APS certifications, with named specializations across Software Firewall, Hardware Firewall, Prisma Cloud, and Prisma SASE. Engineers are reassessed annually against current Palo Alto curriculum.

What Palo Alto products does CWS deliver?

CWS delivers full coverage across the Palo Alto Networks portfolio: Cortex (XDR, XSOAR, XSIAM, XPANSE), Prisma (SASE, Access, SD-WAN, Cloud), and Strata (PA-series hardware firewalls, VM-Series virtual firewalls, Panorama, and Strata Cloud Manager).

Where does CWS deliver in the UAE?

CWS delivers across all seven emirates with a primary focus on Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Remote work covers steady-state operations and most implementation phases. On-site work covers cutovers, customer-facing workshops, and any work requiring data-center physical access.

Does CWS provide white-label services for UAE channel partners?

Yes. CWS works under the partner brand for resellers and distributors that need a delivery bench without building one in-house. Engagements are scoped, priced, and delivered as if they were the partner's own team. Standard partner margin is built in to every engagement.

How does CWS handle migrations from Cisco, Fortinet, or CheckPoint?

CWS uses a parallel-cut migration methodology: assess, design, build the new platform alongside the legacy, validate, and cut over in a single approved change window. Policy translation is handled with Palo Alto Expedition plus manual review by a senior engineer. Cutover risk is contained to the agreed window with documented rollback.

What is the typical timeline for a Prisma SASE rollout?

A typical UAE enterprise Prisma Access rollout for 1,000 to 5,000 users runs 8 to 14 weeks end-to-end. Smaller branch-replacement rollouts can complete in 4 to 6 weeks. CWS delivers in fixed-scope phases with weekly review checkpoints.

In what languages can CWS deliver?

Engagement documentation, customer workshops, and steady-state operations are delivered in English, French, Arabic, or Hindi as required. Most UAE engagements run primarily in English with Arabic-language artifacts produced for executive and audit audiences when needed.
