FAQs
The increasing digitalization of government agencies in the Middle East makes them convenient targets for cyberattacks, especially from APT groups. These attacks can disrupt critical services, steal sensitive data, and even manipulate decision-making. Such disruption can cause system outages, hindering customer access and service delivery in public sectors. Malicious players, like state-sponsored groups or criminal organizations, may launch these attacks for espionage, economic gain, or to sow discord, threaten citizen privacy and national security.
As a fundamental step towards efficient cybersecurity, government agencies must update their systems and establish a central cybersecurity body to create and monitor security protocols. Adopting comprehensive solutions for security audits, incident response, and data encryption is critical. To futureproof cybersecurity measures, threat intelligence measures must be put in place to analyze evolving threats and set up mechanisms for defense, detection, and mitigation.

Paramount Assure has established itself as a regional leader in cybersecurity across the GCC by tailoring security solutions for 35+ banks, 30+ government customers, and 20+ oil and gas companies.
Considering novel security breaches from unprecedented threats, government agencies must invest in proactive security measures, threat intelligence gathering, and training for cybersecurity awareness and incident response. Employees must be trained to spot phishing emails and suspicious activity so they can become a strong defense. Plus, a tested incident response plan ensures a swift recovery from attacks. Testing security tools is also important in addition to patching holes in the current cybersecurity framework.
The most efficient way to ensure the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures is to regularly test them. Government agencies moving to new digital platforms, or the cloud must ensure testing of security measures with simulated attacks. Tracking security incidents and user activity is another helpful way to identify suspicious patterns before they become a threat. This continuous vigilance keeps your agency ahead of cyber threats.
