Infoblox’s 2023 Global State of Cybersecurity Report found that collectively, the estimated average value of UAE organisational losses resulting from those breached in the past year was roughly 8 million UAE dirham (USD $2.2 million).
Infoblox Inc. the company that delivers a simplified, cloud- enabled networking and security platform for improved performance and protection, released findings of its 2023 Global State of Cybersecurity Report. The company has identified security and networking trends that encourage the cybersecurity industry to follow its lead in unifying networking and security teams.
Mohammed Al-Moneer, Regional Sr. Director, META, Infoblox shared, “As per the UAE findings of the report, respondents in the country continue to grapple with securing remote employee- and corporate owned devices, networks and endpoints. Most fear data leaks and cloud attacks and do not believe they have a firm handle on the insider threat. 66% reported one or more breaches in the past 12 months, most likely from phishing, ransomware or another advanced threat. Financial damage is one of the highest in the EMEA region, and system outages or downtime are among the chief fallouts. And despite most anticipating more budget in 2023, few are fully confident they’ll be able to adequately protect remote worker access to their networks or respond to all security alerts—at least without adding more IT staff.”
“Networking and security work better together when they share real-time visibility into application, user and device context. Real-time threat protection and more resilient network performance can only happen when networking and security work side by side,” he further added.
