MIDDLE EAST COMPANIES SUFFER LARGER SECURITY LOSSES THAN GLOBAL COUNTERPARTS
ccording to a study
A released by PwC , that surveyed 300 companies from 20 Middle Eastern countries about the state of cybersecurity threats in the region , 56 % of the companies lost more than AED1.85 million compared to 33 % globally , and 13 % lost at least three working days , compared to 9 %.
“ The rapid growth of business in the region has placed stress on technology infrastructure and put them front and centre of global cyberthreats and attacks ,” said Mohan Raj , Regional Sales Manager , UAE , Bahrain and Oman , who was recently hired by LogRhythm .
Prior to joining LogRhythm , Mohan Raj ran the cybersecurity solutions business at one of the largest system integrators in the region , handling enterprise customers in government , banking , aviation , energy and utilities .
“ Companies in this region have been investing heavily in security technology , especially over the past five years . However , as cyberattacks grow in frequency and sophistication , more vigilant security processes and governance have become essential to thwarting attacks ,” said Raj .
“ Digital security is not an IT department issue , it is a business issue that needs board level oversight and responsibility . The risk of suffering financial and reputational damage is very real . Small and large businesses need to make sure they are protected from cyberthreats .”
