By integrating these managed services, du, through its sub-brand du Tech, enables organizations to offload the complexity of disaster recovery, allowing them to focus on growth while maintaining 99.999% uptime.

As organizations face an increasingly complex digital threat environment, du Tech provides the critical infrastructure needed to ensure operational resilience and data sovereignty.
As digital downtime translates into financial loss, the stakes for UAE enterprises are at an all-time high. Recent studies show that 94% of UAE organizations have experienced a cyberattack in the past year, with the average cost of a single breach now exceeding $2.9 million. Furthermore, nearly 60% of local firms report that data disruptions have materially impact on their business operations.
“From government entities to enterprises, your data stays secure and your business keeps moving, this is our commitment to organizations across the UAE. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, we are enabling institutions to move forward with confidence through resilient, secure, and sovereign digital infrastructure. By integrating strong local capabilities and global scale, we provide a dual-layered approach that combines both sovereign in-country protection and out-of-country international redundancy, ensuring organizations remain agile, protected, and ready to navigate what lies ahead.”
