Discover KEMS Zajil Cybersecurity Solutions In Partnership with Quadron

In partnership with KEMS Zajil Telecom, QUADRON Cybersecurity Services is tackling the growing demand for improved cybersecurity in Kuwait by focusing on the human element. Often considered a vulnerability, with the right training, individuals can become a key line of defense. Together, KEMS Zajil and QUADRON are dedicated to fortifying the cybersecurity infrastructure of organizations in Kuwait, enabling them to effectively confront the unique challenges arising from the nation’s rapid digital transformation.

Cybersecurity Awareness: Addressing the Human Factor Threats in Kuwait

In an increasingly digitally reliant world, cybersecurity has become essential for business continuity and resilience. As technology evolves to combat new threats, human behavior remains a key focus for attackers, often referred to as the “weakest link” in cybersecurity. However, KEMS Zajil & QUADRON believe that people are not the weakest but one of the most critical defenses when equipped with the right tools and knowledge.

Kuwait is witnessing a significant surge in cyberattacks targeting individuals, with a 45% increase in cyber threats in 2023. Phishing and social engineering are among the top techniques used by cybercriminals, making Kuwaiti organizations—especially those in oil & gas, banking, and healthcare—prime targets. This reality highlights the importance of cybersecurity awareness programs aimed at mitigating risks caused by human error.

Understanding the Threat Landscape in Kuwait

  1. Social Engineering: Social engineering attacks are on the rise globally, and Kuwait is no exception. Cybercriminals exploit human psychology to manipulate individuals into revealing sensitive information or performing harmful actions. Recent studies show that 61% of businesses in Kuwait experienced social engineering attacks in the past year.
  2. Phishing: Phishing remains one of the most persistent threats in Kuwait, especially in the banking sector. In 2023, phishing accounted for 38% of all cyber incidents, with malicious emails and fraudulent SMS messages being the most common methods.
  3. Deepfakes: Although still emerging, deepfake technology poses a growing threat in Kuwait. Manipulated media, such as fake videos or audio, is increasingly being used for misinformation or fraud, targeting key government and corporate leaders.
