The CPX State of the UAE Cybersecurity Report 2024 outlines a rapidly expanding attack surface in the UAE driven by IT/OT adoption, cloud, and AI, with 155,000 exposed assets and incidents frequently tied to misconfigurations, malware, and phishing. It reports over 58,000 DDoS attacks in 2023 (peaking above 260 Gbps), notes widespread targeting of critical infrastructure, and highlights that many threats are financially motivated or insider-driven, while also citing regional activity by the Lazarus Group. Despite rising threats, detection timelines are improving, and the report urges comprehensive programs that combine technical controls with awareness and resilience initiatives across public and private sectors.
