Dammam, Saudi Arabia: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the second most targeted country in the Middle East for cyber-attacks. Research shows that critical infrastructure industries like oil and mining, manufacturing and chemicals were increasingly targeted for attacks.
61% of businesses in Saudi Arabia reported problems with data protection to be the most challenging: they experienced loss or exposure of corporate or customer data.
With major security challenges, arising from the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) as part of digital transformation, Saudi Arabia is committed to bolstering cybersecurity, safeguarding national security, critical infrastructure, high-priority sectors, and government services.
