Cyber threats adapt to the realities of each sector, exploiting specific vulnerabilities in systems, people, and processes. That is why Alexsta never delivers generic solutions. Every defence we design is built around the exact operational structure, compliance requirements, and threat landscape of your industry. In the world of high-stakes operations, one-size-fits-all is not just ineffective, it can be dangerous.
Sector Specialization Matters
Alexsta was founded on the belief that cybersecurity should be as strategic as it is technical. We are purpose driven and precision led, protecting digital empires across the GCC and Europe with a core focus on Fintech, Oil and Gas, Pharma, and Manufacturing. Our philosophy merges ancient vigilance with modern execution. Inspired by myth, powered by precision, and driven by trust, Alexsta is more than a service provider. We are a cyber sentinel guiding high-stakes industries through digital warzones with clarity, foresight, and purpose.
Oil & Gas
It was just after midnight when an offshore platform’s control room went dark. The drilling process halted instantly. Engineers scrambled, unsure if it was a systems glitch or a coordinated attack. Within minutes, millions were at risk.
Oil and Gas operations face escalating cyber risks across SCADA systems, remote infrastructure, and vast supply chains. Attackers know that disrupting energy infrastructure can destabilize entire economies. Threat actors range from nation-state adversaries targeting operational downtime to cybercriminal groups exploiting weaknesses in vendor connections.
A national oil company faced persistent ransomware attempts targeting its OT network. After an initial breach caused costly delays, Alexsta segmented critical control systems, implemented 24/7 encrypted monitoring, and introduced predictive threat detection tuned to operational patterns. In the next 18 months there were zero successful breaches, a 70 percent reduction in vendor-related vulnerabilities, and a measurable boost in regulator confidence.
“We were dead in the water, our operations ground to a halt due to a targeted ransomware attack. Alexsta stepped in within hours, contained the threat, recovered our systems, and rebuilt our security architecture. We owe them our continuity, and possibly our jobs.”
Saeed Al-Mutairi, Operations Security Lead, Oil and Gas
Finance & Fintech
A mid-sized fintech was preparing for a high-profile product launch when the CFO received a fraud alert. In the next 20 minutes, dozens of unauthorized transactions hit the system. The launch could fail before it even started.
In finance, trust moves at the speed of data. Every transaction, client record, and algorithm is a potential entry point for attackers. The sector is under constant siege from phishing, credential stuffing, payment fraud, and API exploitation. Strict frameworks such as GDPR, PDPL, and NIS2 mean that non-compliance can lead to crippling fines and reputational damage.
A GCC fintech faced a spike in fraud attempts during a major product launch. Alexsta ran a full-stack security assessment, upgraded access controls, and deployed adaptive monitoring with behavioural analytics. Fraudulent transactions dropped by 83 percent, the launch continued without disruption, and over 400,000 dollars in breach losses were avoided. Quarterly audit preparation time dropped by 40 percent.
“Alexsta brought clarity to our cloud security challenges. Their team delivered fast, compliant solutions tailored to the realities of modern fintech infrastructure.”
Ranya El-Taher, Head of DevSecOps, Banking and Fintech
Pharma & Biotech
A global biotech was days away from a critical drug launch when a researcher spotted unusual data access logs. Minutes later, the R&D team confirmed that proprietary formulas had been copied off-site. Regulatory approval was suddenly in jeopardy.
In life sciences, every byte of data can save or cost lives. Clinical systems, research platforms, and partner networks hold sensitive intellectual property and patient data, making them prime targets for cyber espionage. Breaches can halt clinical trials, derail launches, and lead to regulatory non-compliance.
Days before a global drug launch, a biotech firm discovered lab data had been exfiltrated. Alexsta traced the breach to a partner connection, shut down the intrusion, and introduced encryption and access control upgrades. The launch went ahead on schedule, regulatory clearance was maintained, and projected revenues were preserved.
“Right before a global launch, we discovered our lab data had been exfiltrated. Alexsta treated it like their own crisis, traced the breach, plugged the holes, and got us secure and certified in time. They did not just protect us, they saved our research.”
Dr. Ahmed Jalili, Head of Scientific Computing, Pharma and Biotech
Manufacturing
At two o’clock in the morning, a manufacturing plant’s automated production line stopped mid-cycle. Operators found the control systems frozen, and malware spreading across connected machinery. Every passing hour meant hundreds of thousands lost.
Manufacturing is now a hyper-connected ecosystem of smart factories, IoT machinery, and global supply chains. While connectivity drives efficiency, it also multiplies attack surfaces. Cyber incidents can halt production, corrupt quality control, and expose proprietary CAD designs.
A multinational manufacturer suffered a malware outbreak that shut down plants across three continents. Alexsta restored operations within 48 hours, rebuilt security architecture around zero trust, secured supplier links, and encrypted CAD transfers. Security alerts dropped by 60 percent within six months.
“Our production line got hit by a malware outbreak that left machines unresponsive, and backups corrupted. Alexsta rolled in like digital paramedics. They rebuilt our network under fire and helped us implement real cyber resilience. We will never run without them again.”
Eva Romero, IT Infrastructure Manager, Manufacturing
Old soul. New tech. No nonsense.
We’re strategic defenders, blending old-world wisdom with new-world precision. Not your average cybersecurity firm. We protect what others miss and prepare you for what’s next.
