CYBERAIQ AG recently announced the establishment of an Advanced Agentic Security Center of Excellence, delivered on Microsoft’s stack, to help government, regulated industry and enterprise customers across EMEA adopt AI securely and modernise security operations for the agentic era.
The Center of Excellence is the engine of the company’s broader agentic transformation strategy and supports the national agentic mandate of the UAE.
CYBERAIQ AG is building toward the agentic enterprise, where intelligent agents work alongside people across business, IT and security as governed, accountable parts of how an organisation runs rather than as isolated experiments. The Center of Excellence is the foundation of that strategy and the route through which each phase of enterprise AI adoption, from first use case to autonomous operations, is designed, secured and scaled. Agents are built on Microsoft Foundry, governed end to end with Microsoft Agent 365, and defended through the Microsoft Security multi-model agentic scanning harness MDASH, the MAI-Cyber-1-Flash and Project Perception, which coordinates red, blue and green team agents while humans stay in control of critical decisions.
“Our customers are not asking for more tools. They are asking how to adopt AI safely and turn platform investment into business value. The Center of Excellence is where that happens. It is the foundation of our agentic strategy, built on Microsoft Foundry and governed by Microsoft Agent 365. Microsoft brings the platform and the security foundation. CYBERAIQ AG brings transformation architecture, the delivery experience and the regional execution to make it real. AI will only scale when organisations can trust it”, Stephan Berner, Founder and CEO, CYBERAIQ AG.
“As organisations move AI agents from experimentation into production, identity, governance and security must be built in from the start. Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft Agent 365 provide the platform and control plane to build, govern and secure agents, while MDASH and Project Perception bring advanced agentic defence across the application and security lifecycle. CYBERAIQ AG’s investment in an Advanced Agentic Security Center of Excellence will help customers in the UAE and across EMEA translate these capabilities into secure, governed and measurable outcomes at scale”, Ahmed Hamzawy, Chief Partner Officer, Microsoft.
Inside the Center of Excellence
The Center of Excellence is not an advisory function. It runs as standing capability with named owners, fixed cadences and defined deliverables:
Every engagement follows a fixed first few weeks: a complete agent inventory including shadow AI, a named owner for every agent, identity and Conditional Access applied across the agent estate, a baseline agentic code security assessment on the highest-risk repositories, a defined human approval model for agentic security workflows, and two lighthouse agents in production with measured outcomes. Agent controls are mapped to global and regional frameworks, through Microsoft Compliance Manager, so governance is reportable rather than asserted.
The Center of Excellence runs on the Microsoft core security stack, powered by the Microsoft security data lake and extended by the newly launched MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, MDASH and Project Perception. CYBERAIQ AG’s services span Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Purview, together with Microsoft Foundry, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot. The company holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security designation and the Threat Protection specialisation. Capabilities available today will expand as Microsoft’s platforms for building and securing agents evolve.
