    ABU DHABI and DUBAI, May 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    • Poll is aimed at raising awareness regarding corporate UAE's attitude to rising cyber security threat

    DarkMatter, an international cyber security firm headquartered in the UAE, has found that 48% of respondents to its DarkMatter Cyber Security Poll say their organisations do not have a senior management executive assigned to oversee cyber security, while 46% of respondents said their organisations did not have a Board-level representative responsible for cyber security.

    The statistics are extracted from a poll conducted by DarkMatter during the Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC) 2016 held in Dubai, at which the company was the Cyber Security Innovation Partner. DarkMatter was able to poll the answers of over 200 information and communication technology (ICT) visitors present at the event, with the aim of the exercise being to identify attitudes held by enlightened ICT professionals towards the role of cyber security in modern, highly digitised economies, and the state of their organisations' cyber threat resilience.

    The poll identified that 23% of respondents believe that their organisations have been victim to an internal cyber security breach, while 32% believe their organisations have fallen victim to an external attack. This suggests external threats pose a greater threat to organisations' digital assets than internal ones, with a further poll result indicating 46% of respondents believe cyber security breaches are most often the result of human factors.  

    DarkMatter is looking to secure digital infrastructure for nations, businesses, and individuals and while the expectation is that cyber threats will persist, the company advises entities to assume a state of breach, in order to establish the necessary strategic and tactical posture to guard against and mitigate cyber risks.

    Commenting on the results of DarkMatter's Cyber Security Poll, the company's Chief Executive Officer, Faisal Al Bannai said, "Raising awareness regarding the real and evolving threat of cyber attacks is imperative in any modern, digital society. It is not about fear-mongering, it is about understanding what is at risk when entities and people operate in a connected online environment; what threat actors may be present and what they are in search of; and what steps can be taken to reduce vulnerabilities or mitigate threats."
