When it comes to cyberthreats and ransomware attacks, we are accustomed to seeing alarming numbers. So, the numbers from the UAE regarding DaaS for Telecom Service Providers would come as a most welcome surprise.
In the first quarter of this year, the UAE government announced that ransomware attacks in the nation declined by more than 70% compared with the same period a year ago. They owe their cyber resilience to their enhanced cyber awareness and compliance policies, along with dedicated investments in improving their IT infrastructure.
A Check Point report published earlier in the year says that “1 in 31 organizations worldwide experienced a ransomware attack weekly over the first quarter of 2023”. Set against this backdrop of constantly increasing cyberthreats, the UAE numbers are too good to be true. And it is not only true but also a great example to follow.
The UAE Government has done a commendable job at keeping malicious threats at bay; they prevent more than 50,000 attacks each day. But with ransomware and other cybersecurity threats evolving at an alarming rate, organizations should never let their guard down. Every organization, especially telecom service providers, must fortify their cybersecurity posture by leveraging secure and compliant technologies.
