Our UAE Financial Sector Cyber Threat Landscape report, developed in collaboration with Rabdan Academy and UQ Cyber, reveals that cybercriminals are exploiting technical, socio-technical, and human vulnerabilities to attack UAE financial institutions. Top threats include: · Spear-phishing attacks using AI-generated content. · Ransomware infiltrations moving laterally across networks. · AI-driven supply chain attacks targeting third-party weaknesses. Cybersecurity strategies must be holistic, addressing both tech vulnerabilities and the human factor to build long-term resilience. Stay vigilant, invest in AI defence, and make cybersecurity everyone's responsibility.

Cybersecurity is not just a tech issue—it’s a people issue.
