Saudi & UAE companies now automating, upskilling, and strategically planning to reduce risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The much anticipated \u2018State of Email Security Report<\/a>\u2019 from email security specialist Mimecast, is out and makes insightful reading. On the downside, it paints a picture of \u201cmarkedly increased apprehension over the dire consequences of an email-borne attack\u201d with 8 out of 10 I.T. specialists surveyed believing it is likely, extremely likely, or even inevitable that their organizations will suffer negative consequences this year because of an email-based cyberattack \u2013 10% more resignation than last year. Mimecast puts the pessimism down to organizations now operating remote and hybrid working environments and being more reliant on email, collaboration tools and other electronic communications. On the upside, it says more IT executives, particularly in Saudi Arabi and the UAE, are looking to automate and upskill their cyber defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a third reported an increase in their attack surface across such vital departments as IT (36%), human resources (37%) and finance (35%). Citing the challenges ahead, more than three-quarters (76%) admitted their cybersecurity approach is reactive, not proactive but the good news, says Mimecast is that \u201cMany of the IT executives seemed intent to turn the tide on digital transformation, with cyber defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here are the defensive approaches now being pursued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
