The financial firm is one of the largest financial markets in the Middle East, enabling transparent and regulated trading across equities, bonds, and ETFs. With over 70 listed companies and billions in market capitalization, it plays a vital role in supporting the UAE’s economic growth. As part of its digital transformation, the exchange is adopting a cloud-first strategy to enhance agility, security, and operational resilience. The institution aims to become a globally competitive, future-ready financial hub.
The institution was in the midst of a digital transformation but faced critical challenges across security, collaboration, and compliance. Legacy infrastructure lacked centralized identity and access management, making consistent policy enforcement difficult and exposing the exchange to risks like unauthorized access. Siloed communication platforms hindered cross-team collaboration, delaying workflows and decisions in a fast-paced trading environment. Compliance processes were heavily manual, increasing audit complexity and the risk of human error. The firm in the UAE needed a unified, secure, and scalable digital foundation that ensured governance, agility, and resilience.
Cloud4C implemented Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 to centralize identity and collaboration. Conditional Access policies were configured to enforce multifactor authentication and context-aware verification. The migration to SharePoint Online enabled real-time, secure document collaboration across departments. Compliance tools were automated for reporting and audit readiness. Managed services ensured policy optimization, user enablement, and continuous threat defense.
