The Middle East is experiencing rapid digital transformation and economic growth, making it an increasingly attractive target for cyberattacks.
While historically the region has seen a relatively low number of publicized cyber incidents, the potential impact of a successful attack is significant, due to the region’s crucial role in the global energy sector and its growing dependence on digital technologies. The costs of data breaches in the region are already high, and various cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated. This podcast discusses the key vulnerabilities, risks, and necessary steps for mitigating potential cyber threats in the Middle East.
Talking Points:
-
High Potential Impact to Energy Sector: The energy sector is considered one of the most important and sensitive sectors that must be protected from cyber attacks due to the devastating impact this sector might have on Middle Eastern economies.
Geopolitical Tensions Exacerbate Risk: Complicating matters is geopolitical tension in parts of the Middle East: With its escalation, any high-profile or state-owned businesses will be at increased risk of cyber attacks from hacktivists.
Proactive cybersecurity solutions that isolate endpoints and prevent credential-based exploits are essential for organizations in the Middle East to safeguard their infrastructure, maintain operational trust, and ensure resilience against evolving cyber threats.
