Navigating the current cybersecurity demands requires solutions to address advanced threats. As digital adversaries evolve, organisations increasingly turn to sophisticated threat intelligence platforms for robust defence.
With this, Kaspersky takes centre stage with its advanced Threat Intelligence platform. This powerhouse not only provides global visibility but also boasts advanced detection capabilities and expert insights, making it a cornerstone in empowering organisations to stay ahead in the complex realm of digital security.
Unmasking APT groups targeting the UAE and KSA
Kaspersky’s researchers are monitoring and analysing the activities of 14 APT groups in the UAE and 16 in KSA. These groups, with a diverse range of targets including government entities, manufacturing sectors, energy and utilities sector, diplomatic channels, and financial institutions, real estate and IT companies, pose a significant threat to regional cybersecurity. Kaspersky’s advantage lies in its network of experts worldwide, granting insights into the East-to-West threat landscape, even in regions as challenging as Russia.
“The geopolitical mood has influenced increased activity among some APTs in our region, notably the Shadowpad APT, with observable daily changes in behaviour and evasion techniques. Evidence now more than ever suggests that no device is immune to cyber-attacks, including highly secure systems like the iPhone IOS, as demonstrated by the triangulation APT. APT actors from our region, such as Muddywater, OilRig, FruityArmor, and Deathstalker, have been actively diversifying tools and expanding their reach, reflecting the evolving nature of cyber threats.” Said Amin Hasbini, Head of Research Centre for META region at Kaspersky.
