Kaspersky takes top enterprise cybersecurity to the heights of Burj Khalifa

Kaspersky has illuminated the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, in an astonishing LED display to showcase the highest protection from cyberthreats. The light show went live on October 12, aiming to highlight the growing cyber threat landscape enterprises face today, and stressing the need for businesses to have a reliable cybersecurity partner to achieve sustainable development.

In recent years, the world has experienced a rapidly evolving threat landscape for enterprise, as cybercriminals strike increasingly high-profile targets. According to Kaspersky’s findings, in the Middle East alone, every third industrial computer was attacked by threat actors in the first six months of 2022. This is in line with the global trend, showing that as many as 31.8% of ICS computers worldwide faced at least one attempted attack in H1 of the current year.

Given this trend, cybersecurity should be a top priority for enterprises, so to promote this message, Kaspersky raised it to the greatest heights. The iconic Burj Khalifa building showcased how a partnership with a trusted cybersecurity vendor can benefit businesses and help shield them against online hazards, demonstrating the company’s commitment to providing the best-in-class enterprise security that organizations can trust.
