AI Security Operations Manager for Dubai 2026: The Intelligent Shield
The "Ghost Guard" Problem
Building A pays for 5 guards. Guard 3 is sleeping in the pump room. Guard 4 signed the patrol log but didn't walk the floor. Result: Theft. Fire hazard. SIRA Fine. Security is only as good as the vigilance.
This guide explains how Security Company Formation (Complete Technical Guide)">Services Suppliers in Dubai use Custom AI Agents to ensure every site is secure, 24/7.
