Obrela’s Nick Loumakis, Regional Managing Director MENA, describes the complex cyber attack landscape across the Middle East As the Middle East undergoes rapid economic growth and digital transformation across key sectors like finance, energy, and government, the region faces a surge in cybersecurity threats.
