From ransomware to supply chain attacks, Middle Eastern businesses face a unique threat landscape. Here's what you need to know to protect your organization.
The Middle East has become a high-priority target for cybercriminals. According to recent reports, cyberattacks targeting UAE organizations increased by over 70% in the past year, with ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks leading the list.
Ransomware groups are increasingly targeting government entities, healthcare providers, and financial institutions in the GCC. The average cost of a data breach in the Middle East exceeds $7 million — among the highest globally.
Supply chain attacks are particularly dangerous for UAE businesses due to the region's role as a global trade hub. Attackers compromise trusted vendors to gain access to larger targets, making third-party security assessments essential.
Building a strong cybersecurity posture requires a layered approach: regular vulnerability assessments, 24/7 SOC monitoring, employee awareness training, and incident response planning. Bayden's cybersecurity team helps organizations in the UAE build comprehensive defenses against modern threats.
