A top-5 bank in the GCC was drowning in SIEM alerts — 40,000 per day, 99.3% false positives. SPS deployed a tuned QRadar environment with custom use cases, reducing actionable alerts to under 2,400 per day while improving true positive detection rate by 340%. Identity threat detection via MYID Self Verify integration blocked 3 account takeover campaigns in the first 90 days.

A national power generation authority commissioned SPS for their first-ever OT security assessment. Our team discovered an unauthenticated path from the corporate network to PLC management interfaces, a hardcoded vendor backdoor in HMI software, and 7 additional critical vulnerabilities — none visible to their existing IT security tools.

Pakistan's second-largest mobile operator enrolled 45 SOC analysts in SPS's Cyber Range training program. After three months of structured scenario-based training, mean time to detect dropped from 47 minutes to 18 minutes, and mean time to respond from 4.2 hours to 1.7 hours. Zero major incidents were mishandled in the 6 months following training.

During a 3-week red team engagement for a regional e-commerce leader, SPS discovered a forgotten staging environment exposed to the internet, used it to harvest production admin credentials, and achieved full database access — including 2.3 million customer records — without triggering a single SIEM alert. Entire attack chain documented and remediated.
