A global leader in cloud security, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE:4704), is concerned that Saudi Arabia is highly vulnerable to cybercrime. The Kingdom has seen an alarming increase in infected machines this year. Increased internet usage provides more opportunity for cybercriminals. This year alone, Trend Micro identifies on average 95,000 malware per month in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The security vendor said their customers in Saudi Arabia are well protected from today\u2019s malicious threats, as Trend Micro experts are in the Kingdom to help raise awareness and provide a holistic approach to internet security; however, Trend Micro remains concerned that the majority of the businesses and government entities in the Kingdom, still rely on inadequate security solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBusiness and government entities remain vulnerable to cyber-attacks in KSA. Today\u2019s criminals are organized and relentless, and when the attack happens, and it will, the financial implications will be very damaging, not to mention losing brand integrity and credibility. In today\u2019s world where everything is connected, protection then becomes indispensable,\u201d commented Ihab Moawad, Vice President, Trend Micro, Mediterranean, Middle East & Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the threat environment today has evolved, and targeted attacks are a real danger. Most internet users are not aware that their PCs or business environments have been compromised. Any system from any organization is at risk, and the ones most targeted are those with compromised machines and inadequate protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With its robust partner ecosystem, Trend Micro ensures that the company\u2019s best-of-breed security solutions are easy and widely available to KSA individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c2016 has seen us investing more and more into KSA. We made more products and solutions available to the KSA market, and our channel partners have played a crucial role in making this happen. Cyberattacks will continue to grow, especially with Ransomware, and businesses can ill afford to have their networks comprised. We remain committed to the KSA market and will continue to protect the Kingdom from devastating cyberattacks,\u201d added Moawad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
