Saudi Arabia builds cyber resilience in the era of #digital vigilance
As the Kingdom accelerates its #digitaltransformation efforts, it has become a prime target for #cybercriminals. Its vulnerable position was highlighted in 2012 when the Shamoon virus forced Aramco- one of the world’s most valuable companies- to shut down.
However, as the usage of the Internet during the pandemic increased, so did the number of malicious actors who were able to take advantage of the typically reduced IT security of remote workers.
Since Saudi Arabia has a very digitally active population, the cybercrime’s magnitude could continue to increase, and radical measures need to be taken in this direction.
