Middle East faces half a million cyberthreats a minute
The cybersecurity market in the Middle East is evolving fast, with reports suggesting up to half a million threats every minute. As a result, any organization embarking on a digitial transformation journey must have cybersecurity built into its DNA, an expert said. 'Cybersecurity is no longer a supporting function — it's a foundational pillar of digital transformation. In the Middle East, where innovation is surging across sectors, we see a growing awareness of this reality. Organizations are now prioritizing cyber resilience right from the planning stage,' Salah Suleiman, managing director — South Gulf at Trend Micro, told Khaleej Times on the sidelines of Gisec Global in Dubai last week. Suleiman stressed that AI has rapidly grown from a budding concept to a transformative force across industries. From a cybersecurity standpoint, it's a double-edged sword. 'While AI is being used to create more sophisticated threats, it's also becoming an essential tool in our defence arsenal. At our firm, we've been proactive in integrating AI into our threat detection and response frameworks. We're no longer just reacting to threats — we're predicting them. Our platforms leverage AI to analyze vast amounts of data in real time, detect anomalies, and even anticipate breaches before they occur. The only way forward is to stay ahead, and AI gives us that edge,' Suleiman said. At Gisec, Trend Micro showcased its flagship 'Trend Vision One' platform. What sets it apart is its ability to offer customers a predictive overview of potential threats—essentially allowing them to prepare before an attack even happens. 'This is a huge leap from traditional reactive cybersecurity. The platform is built to align with the evolving needs of today's digital-first enterprises and provides seamless integration, intelligent threat modeling, and automated incident response,' Suleiman said. Gisec is a significant milestone for Trend Micro and the company is aiming expanding its reach and capabilities, particularly in AI-based security and managed services. 'It's also a great platform to connect with industry peers and customers, showcase focused solutions, and strengthen our regional network,' Suleiman said.
