Acceleration in cyber attacks has become a significant threat to organizations in the UAE. Reports indicate that over 155,000 unpatched vulnerable assets were found while scanning the nation's internet space. In an eye-opening article titled 'UAE Issues Security Tips Amid Rising Cyber Threats' published by the Middle East's leading daily, Khaleej Times, it was revealed that 56% of businesses have faced a data breach in one form or the other.
With an alarming 83 million digital threats blocked and detected, the Middle East is sensing more red flags as complex security threats persist. The relentless hacking attempts by cybercriminals and the looming threat of cyber warfare necessitate immediate action to protect confidential data from malicious attacks.
Considering this, the UAE Cyber Security Council has provided essential guidelines to help businesses safeguard their data and develop robust strategies to combat these invisible threats. At CBIZ, we understand the urgency of this matter and offer comprehensive cybersecurity services designed to protect your organization at every level. Our services align with the best practices recommended by cybersecurity experts and address the UAE Cyber Security Council’s recommendations in several ways:
We at CBIZ focus on the latest trends to protect networks and data. By using AI and machine learning for faster threat detection, securing IoT devices, exploring quantum-resistant encryption, and implementing zero-trust security models, our cybersecurity experts ensure businesses are well-defended against cyber threats.
AI and ML are revolutionizing cybersecurity, enabling precise and rapid threat detection. CBIZ integrates AI-driven analytics to analyze vast network data in real-time, identifying anomalies that could indicate potential breaches. This proactive approach significantly reduces response times and enhances overall security.
With the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, securing these networks is critical. Unsecured IoT devices can serve as entry points for cybercriminals. CBIZ ensures robust security protocols, including device authentication and encryption, to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
As quantum computing evolves, it poses both opportunities and challenges. CBIZ explores quantum-resistant algorithms to future-proof our data encryption strategies, ensuring resilience against sophisticated attacks.
The zero-trust model is becoming a fundamental security strategy, operating on the principle of 'never trust, always verify.' CBIZ implements zero-trust architectures that enforce strict access controls and continuous monitoring, providing robust defenses against insider and external threats.

We integrate security into every step of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with rigorous code reviews, automated testing, and continuous developer training, creating applications with innate resilience and robust security.
In the face of rising cyber threats, as highlighted by the UAE Cyber Security Council, it is crucial for businesses to take comprehensive measures to protect their digital assets. At CBIZ, we are committed to providing top-notch cybersecurity services to ensure your organization remains secure and resilient against any cyber threats.
While implementing advanced security technologies is crucial, the human element remains a significant factor in effective cybersecurity. Cybercriminals often exploit human vulnerabilities through social engineering tactics, such as phishing attacks. At CBIZ, we prioritize cybersecurity awareness training as a vital component of our strategy.
We provide tailored training programs designed to educate employees about recognizing cyber threats and understanding best practices for data protection. Our interactive sessions cover topics such as password management, identifying phishing attempts, and safe browsing habits. By empowering employees with knowledge, we create a security-conscious culture that helps mitigate risks associated with human error.
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, making ongoing education essential. CBIZ offers regular updates and refresher courses to ensure your team stays informed about the latest security trends and tactics used by cybercriminals. This proactive approach strengthens the security posture of your organization.
Threats can emerge from various sources, and a collaborative approach is essential for effective defense. CBIZ actively engages with industry partners, government bodies, and cybersecurity communities to foster a collective defense strategy.
We participate in information-sharing initiatives that allow organizations to exchange insights on emerging threats and effective countermeasures. By collaborating with other businesses and cybersecurity experts, we stay ahead of potential risks and adapt our strategies accordingly.
Through partnerships with local and international organizations, CBIZ contributes to creating a robust cybersecurity ecosystem. We advocate for industry standards and best practices that enhance resilience against cyber threats. By working together, we can amplify our efforts and build a safer digital environment for all.
With cyber threats rising exponentially in the UAE, it is crucial for businesses to adopt a proactive approach to protect their digital assets. CBIZ is poised to align with the best cybersecurity practices in the UAE, providing innovative solutions that integrate AI, IoT security, and zero-trust models. Our comprehensive offerings, including advanced threat detection and employee training, empower organizations to confidently navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cyber risks.
Together, we can establish a strong defense against cyber threats. Our cybersecurity experts are ready to assist you in implementing tailored security measures that meet your specific needs.
