Omnix’s XOC includes a unique combination of a Security Operations Centre (SOC), Network Operations Centre (NOC) and Operations Control Centre (OCC) with managed services aimed to assist organisations accelerate their digital transformation initiatives and overcome challenges relating to security threats, network issues and performance, as well as operations-related tasks.
The XOC, equipped with the skilled resources and tools, will enable customers to identify cyber threats and analyse network performance, with the goal of enabling organisations across sectors to remain focused on turning their aspirations into reality.

While embracing digital transformation, technology can provide many benefits including superior business performance, a downside is that these businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals across the globe. A report by Ponemon Institute revealed that data breaches result in the average loss of $6.53 million per enterprise organisation in the Middle East, which is significantly higher than the global average loss of $3.86 million. Based on data from Saudi Arabia and UAE-based companies, the reported financial impact caused by data breaches is said to have increased by 9.4% over the past years.
Similarly, IT downtime and sluggish network performance can have a direct impact on a business’ bottom line and ongoing operations. According to a report by Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute, equalling to over $330,000 per hour.
Explaining the managed services’ capabilities, Walid added, “With Omnix XOC offerings, and based on customers’ authorisation, potential security, network and operations threats/risks will be intercepted, logs will be analysed and correlated which will give customers holistic view of the incidents. When authorized, Omnix’s team can take immediate actions and correct the problems without needing any user intervention, ensuring that the business environment is protected”.
With the Security Operations Centre (SOC), Omnix can support businesses with event classification, alerts prioritisation and investigation, incident containment and recovery, remediation and mitigation, and attacks assessment and audits.
