The Middle East is undergoing a remarkable transformation, fuelled by rapid digitalisation, the development of smart cities, the rollout of 5G and accelerated urbanisation. As the region emerges as a global hub of technology and innovation, it has inadvertently become an attractive target for sophisticated cybercriminals targeting its critical infrastructure and digital assets.
In today’s age of connectivity and digitalisation, robust cybersecurity measures are essential to defend the foundations of innovation and enable a more secure digital tomorrow.
The global transition to a remote workforce has revolutionised workplaces, offered greater agility, and introduced heightened cyber risks. Traditional Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are no longer the recommended solution for securing digital communications, especially with the growing demand for remote access. Recent research shows that 97% of enterprises acknowledge that their VPNs are prone to vulnerabilities, underscored by a 47% surge in reported VPN exploits in 2023.
