The company is specialized in the field of advanced electronic address of the attacks that the GCC countries had experienced in recent years a series of cyber attacks that targeted a number of key sectors and vital infrastructure.
And displays "FireEye" report on advanced electronic threats to regional areas of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Regional Advanced Threat Report for EMEA) an overview of the scene APTs attacks (continued) advanced attacks target the computer networks that have been uncovered during the second half of the year 2015.
The company said the changes in the financial and geo-political and economic conditions have made 2015 a busy year of developments in the region, especially in the field of e-threats.
Comparing the second half of 2015 to the first half, I managed to "FireEye" to recognize the high level of development reached by the spectacle of electronic threats in Europe, Middle East and Africa during the monitoring of trends in the changing electronic attacks.
The main findings of the report "FireEye" monitoring electronic attacks, the governments of the Middle East sponsored, which has had major implications in terms of the size of potential attacks. The number of warnings from cyber-attacks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) during 2015, coinciding with an increase eye to these attacks during the second half of the year.
The report and monitor high detection of malware directed macros in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) during the second half of 2015 activities, as cyber criminals continue to take advantage of Microsoft Office documents built-in macros LDS loads malware in the victim's target.
And still advanced threats targeting the increasingly government and the energy sector and the financial services sectors in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). These three sectors alone accounted for 65% of the attacks that have been identified.
As well as cyber-attacks are still reflected on the ongoing events in the real world. For example, Turkey has seen a big increase in attacks (27% of all attacks were concentrated in the Europe, Middle East and Africa) in the second half of 2015, in conjunction with the political climate in the country has changed.
It continues malicious software ransom (Ransomware) threat to companies, especially since the life of this programming cycle is very short, which makes addressed by using the most powerful and effective defenses significant challenge for many companies.
The evidence suggests that the report specified that the geopolitical, financial and economic changes reflected in cyberspace as well. The changes that have taken place on the scene of electronic threats between the first half and the second half of 2015 to be reckoned with, which shows once again the speed with which these attacks are run under it.
Says Richard Turner, Chairman of the "FireEye" for Europe, Middle East and Africa, "We have noticed over the years that the developments that occur in the real world the same scenario is repeated in cyberspace, and not the year 2015 is no exception. With the continued growth of cyber attacks at an alarming rate, soon-traditional security solutions will appear as useless and inadequate to meet the security requirements in the long term. "
He said, "The geopolitical developments and prestige enjoyed by the GCC as a center of finance, energy, real estate and retail sales, tourism, aviation has made in the introduction to the targeted destinations extensively by cybercriminals countries. The high-level communication capabilities in the region makes it a fertile environment of advanced electronic attacks. The FireEye's report on advanced threats [briefly displays the overall intelligence collected on the scene of electronic threats, offers help to companies by providing them with the perceptions and visions of analytical value and assist in the allocation of the necessary to create an infrastructure defensive solid and strong] resources. "
The report pointed out that the Internet, who are motivated by many malicious objectives of the criminals, are making rapid progress in terms of capacity and level of complexity to steal more information, including personal data and business strategies, in order to gain a competitive advantage or to weaken confidence in the operational efficiency.
Looking to the future, expects "FireEye" to become a malware targeting companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with sabotage a greater impact due to the establishment of the attackers modify or destroy data targeted attacks.
In light of these developments, "FireEye" says that it is better for companies to take some steps to protect themselves from the risk of exposure to a generation later of electronic emerging threats, as must the permanent expectation that these be targeted companies and that it is possible to overcome the limits of the available security controls have. Always make sure that there are not any commercial entity immune from hackers attacks.
The need for these companies under a special work of risks relevant to the Internet so that it provides support and care at the level of the Board of Directors, in addition to access to intelligence threats platform best suited to improve the detection of potential attacks through special sensors that companies develop the capabilities.
We must also create an emergency response to accidents and management service, which will enable companies to discover and interact with APT attacks as soon as possible and thus mitigate the fallout from the case of security breach as much as possible.
