Kaspersky illuminates Burj Khalifa, signals commitment to the Middle East

To underscore the critical importance of cybersecurity for enterprises, Kaspersky chose the iconic Burj Khalifa as a canvas

Kaspersky recently lit up Dubai’s Burj Khalifa in an LED show to symbolise the company’s commitment to safeguarding businesses from the evolving cyber threats.

In recent years, cybercriminals have increasingly targeted high-profile enterprises, posing a significant risk to their operations and sensitive data. Kaspersky’s research reveals that in the Middle East alone, every third industrial computer faced a cyber threat in the first half of 2022.

To underscore the critical importance of cybersecurity for enterprises, Kaspersky chose the iconic Burj Khalifa as a canvas to showcase the strength and reliability of its cybersecurity solutions. The message is clear: businesses need a trusted cybersecurity partner to achieve sustainable development and protect themselves from the escalating cyber threat landscape.

Kaspersky’s global threat intelligence data, covering over 200 countries and territories, forms the backbone of its enterprise solutions. The portfolio includes Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response and Threat Intelligence, providing round-the-clock protection and access to top-notch threat intelligence.
