Protecting your business has never been more important than now. The ‘Internet Age’ has introduced a plethora of cybersecurity threats which can bring your company to its knees and grind productivity – and sales – to a halt.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an economic and political leader in the Middle East with a huge number of internet users. Thus, in the past four years, it has been a target of specific cyber-attacks which have compromised both the transportation system and oil industry.
But here’s the catch – Saudi Arabia lacks a unified cyber security policy. Without it, it becomes difficult to protect businesses from malicious attacks.
Concerns over these types of attacks are prevalent around the world – take the recent WannaCry malware attack, for example, or even the suspicions of Russian hacking in the 2016 US election. These are cyber threats affecting the infrastructure of businesses and the government itself.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is part of the G20 – a group of twenty countries which produce 85% of the world’s economic activity. It’s natural to assume that the country will continue to be attacked on this basis, whether the threat is presented by terrorist organizations or state actors.
