EXPERT OPINION
71 % of CISOs in the UAE are more concerned about the repercussions of a cyberattack in 2021 than they were in 2020 .
it very difficult to prioritise a cyber defence strategy . And with hybrid working , flexible hours and multiple access points now the norm , gaining that understanding is increasingly difficult .
Solving the people problem
Naturally , the challenges facing the modern CISO are not focused on one front . Those on the receiving end of cyberattacks are of just as much concern as those behind them .
More than two-thirds believe that users are the most significant risk facing their organisation . And just like the threats from the outside , there are several causing concern from within . Unauthorised devices , tools and applications , as well as falling victim to phishing emails are just some of the issues keeping CISOs up at night .
With many users now out of sight , working remotely at least some of the time , these concerns are more pressing than they may once have
Over two-thirds of CISOs in the UAE do not think their organisation could cope with a cyberattack .
