With the steady adoption of IoT and personal connected devices, it’s reported an increase of over 4 fold in IoT malware attacks year-over-year in the Middle East region. The growth in cyber threats demonstrates cyber criminals’ persistence and ability to adapt to evolving conditions in launching IoT malware attacks.

Cybercriminals are targeting legacy vulnerabilities, with 34 of the 39 most popular IoT exploits specifically directed at vulnerabilities that have existed for over three years. The biggest receiver of these attacks has been manufacturing, followed by oil & gas, Power grids and maritime.

Secured Managed Services and Ai will play a key role in the future of cyber security; however, it remains that it’s not the task of the security team alone. It’s an effort by everyone working within those organisations.
