Microsoft Spotlights Agentic AI at GISEC Global 2025
Home » GISEC » GISEC 2025 » Microsoft Spotlights Agentic AI at GISEC Global 2025 At GISEC Global 2025, Microsoft showcased its latest advancements in cybersecurity, focusing on Agentic AI, autonomous, AI-powered agents designed to defend against evolving cyber threats. The event, known as the Middle East and Africa's largest cybersecurity gathering, was the platform for Microsoft to demonstrate how Agentic AI is transforming threat response. These intelligent agents detect, triage, and respond to threats faster than traditional systems. As AI becomes a tool for cybercriminals to scale deception and accelerate attacks, Microsoft introduced the next evolution: Microsoft Security Copilot Agents. These agents operate autonomously within defined safety parameters. They help security teams by: Prioritizing risks and surfacing critical insights Reducing alert fatigue by automating routine analysis These agents adapt continuously to changing threat landscapes, increasing operational resilience. In a notable industry first, Microsoft partner Help AG demonstrated a Phishing Triage Agent, capable of managing phishing alerts and cyberattacks, allowing human teams to focus on more complex threats. Naim Yazbeck, General Manager of Microsoft UAE, said: 'Generative AI is reshaping cybersecurity. While it creates new risks, it also offers tools for better defense. Microsoft is embedding AI into all layers of our cybersecurity platforms to provide real-time intelligence and autonomous responses.' He added that Microsoft's vision aligns with the UAE's national goals for a secure and resilient digital economy. The company remains committed to helping organizations enhance cyber resilience and innovate securely. Visitors at Microsoft's Hub in Hall 6 experienced its full security strategy and Generative AI capabilities. A highlight was Microsoft Security Copilot, an AI-powered assistant that supports investigations, improves threat detection, and provides actionable insights. This tool integrates with Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Intune, creating a unified defense ecosystem. According to Tariq Halawani, Executive Director of Enterprise Solutions at Microsoft UAE, these tools are reshaping security operations through automation and improved efficiency. Microsoft also shared insights from its Cyber Signals report: 'AI-powered deception: Emerging fraud threats and countermeasures.' The report outlined how cybercriminals use AI to scale scams with fake images, cloned voices, and fraudulent websites. Microsoft's defense systems, which analyze trillions of signals daily, have: Blocked $4 billion in fraud attempts Rejected over 49,000 fraudulent partnership applications in one year The company is also working with law enforcement and industry partners to share threat intelligence and tackle AI misuse. The Microsoft Hub featured interactive areas for Microsoft Entra Suite, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Threat Protection. It also included a Networking Area, F&B zone, entertainment arena, and activation stage. Twelve Microsoft technology partners participated, including: Cloud4C CPX Diyar Insight TrustWave Rubrik Wizard Group GISEC Global 2025, under the theme 'Securing an AI-Powered Future,' hosted over 750 cybersecurity brands and more than 25,000 infosec professionals from 160+ countries.

Significant Rise In Targeted Ransomware Activity
Kaspersky experts have reported a significant rise in targeted ransomware activity at GISEC Global 2025, with the number of active ransomware groups increasing by 35% between 2023 and 2024 – reaching 81 groups globally. Despite this surge, the number of infected victims dropped by 8% during the same period, reaching an estimated 4,300 victims worldwide. The UAE, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye emerged as the most frequently targeted countries in the region. According to Kaspersky research of data leak sites of targeted ransomware groups, the number of ransomware groups continued to rise for the second consecutive year, despite two major disruptions targeting LockBit and BlackCat in 2024 – indicating that such attacks remain highly lucrative for cybercriminals. Targeted ransomware groups use techniques such as exploiting vulnerable internet-exposed services, social engineering, and leveraging traded initial access on the dark web to infiltrate victims. There is also growing evidence also suggests increased collaboration among these groups, including the exchange of malware and hacking tools to achieve their objectives. His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government, affirmed: 'In light of the accelerating pace of cyberattacks globally, it has become imperative to adopt proactive policies that leverage artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to detect threats and respond to them effectively'. He emphasized the importance of GISEC Global 2025 at this critical time and its role in bringing together cybersecurity experts, specialists, and leaders to showcase and discuss evolving threats. The event serves as a vital platform for enhancing collaboration and developing innovative, forward-looking solutions to ensure a secure cyber environment that supports sustainable development and the digital economy. Maher Yamout, Lead Security Researcher for the Middle East, Turkiye and Africa at Kaspersky, suggest some plans to protect institutions. He said: 'By identifying and securing your corporate network's entry points and understanding the tactics used by ransomware groups, companies can better protect their digital assets against targeted ransomware attacks. Failing to address both aspects, significantly increases a company's vulnerability.' To help organizations strengthen their defenses, Kaspersky recommends the following: Employee education and cybersecurity training is necessary as human error is a common cause for cybersecurity breach and can serve as an initial point of access for ransomware attacks. The Kaspersky Threat Intelligence is an essential tool which provides in-depth threat intelligence and real-time insights on the history, motivations and operations of targeted ransomware groups. In addition, Kaspersky's Digital Footprint Intelligence monitors external threats for companies' assets in Surface, Deep and Dark web, strengthening defense against credential leaks. Keep all devices and systems updated to prevent attackers from exploiting known vulnerabilities. Set up offline backups that intruders cannot misuse, and make sure you can access it quickly in an emergency. Kaspersky's multi-layered, next generation protection detects ransomware at both the delivery stage and execution stage of the attack. Kaspersky Next , which combines exploit prevention, behavior-based detection, and a powerful remediation engine capable of rolling back malicious actions. It also features built-in self-defense mechanisms to prevent tampering or removal by attackers. 0 0
