Kaspersky will participate in Black Hat MEA from November 26-28, 2024, in Malham, Saudi Arabia. The company’s presence at this premier cybersecurity event underscores a year of strong growth and success in the Kingdom, with Kaspersky reporting a 38% increase in sales in Saudi Arabia over the first ten months of 2024.
This growth underscores the Kingdom’s remarkable progress in cybersecurity, as evidenced by a 40% reduction in cyberthreat incidents compared to the same period last year, according to Kaspersky’s telemetry. Kaspersky’s solutions have prevented approximately 38 million attacks in Saudi Arabia so far this year, indicating an enhanced nationwide focus on robust security measures as the Kingdom continues its path toward a more secure digital future.
At Black Hat MEA 2024, Kaspersky will showcase its holistic and comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, featuring Kaspersky Next—a multi-layered solution that integrates foundational endpoint protection with the advanced capabilities of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR). This solution addresses diverse security needs across industries and organizations of all sizes. The company will also highlight its Threat Intelligence service, which delivers real-time insights into malicious actors, their tactics, and indicators of compromise (IoCs). By providing actionable intelligence, Kaspersky enables organizations to take a proactive approach to emerging threats and strengthen their overall security frameworks.
Kaspersky will also feature Cloud Workload Security, including Kaspersky Container Security, which identifies vulnerabilities across the containerized application lifecycle, and Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security, designed to protect hybrid infrastructures from a broad spectrum of cyberattacks while optimizing resource use.
Mohamad Hashem, General Manager for KSA & Bahrain at Kaspersky, commented, “We’re pleased to be part of Black Hat MEA this year, which gives us the opportunity to connect with industry leaders in Saudi Arabia and contribute to the Kingdom’s digital transformation. Our solutions presented at Black Hat MEA reflect our commitment to supporting organizations in Saudi Arabia with the tools they need to protect their assets, enhance resilience, and contribute to long-term growth in line with the Kingdom’s cybersecurity goals.”
Reflecting the increasing need for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security, Kaspersky has recently introduced its ICS Security Assessment service in Saudi Arabia to support organizations facing rising threats and vulnerability challenges in ICS environments. This service provides a comprehensive examination of ICS vulnerabilities across all layers, including SCADA systems, delivering critical insights into security gaps and helps organizations build a resilient cybersecurity framework.
