Implementing Prisma Cloud for UAE enterprises.
Prisma Cloud engagements run 6 to 16 weeks: account onboarding, baseline policy tuning, runtime workload onboarding, compliance pack tuning, alert routing setup, remediation workflow integration.
Engagements are scoped on a fixed-fee SOW with weekly review checkpoints and named senior engineer ownership. CWS holds PCNSC, PCNSE, and Prisma SASE APS certifications, with named platform specialisations across Software Firewall, Hardware Firewall, and Prisma Cloud. Bilingual handover artifacts in English plus a second language are produced where audit and operations teams require them.
Common engagement shapes.
Three patterns that recur in UAE engagements. Each starts with a fixed-scope assessment and progresses through implementation into managed operations where the customer wants steady-state coverage.
