London, UK: New research reveals that cyberattacks on the government sector doubled in 2016, hiking to 14% from 7% of all cyber security attacks in 2015. Attacks on the finance sector also rose dramatically from just 3% in 2015 to 14% of all attacks in 2016.
With the forthcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) a little over a year away, far too many organisations have yet to start thinking about or preparing for this more demanding data protection framework which replaces the UK Data Protection Act. At the heart of GDPR is Article 35, which requires "Privacy by Design" for data processing activities.

Hamburg, Germany: The combination of broader digital technology adoption, networked telecom services and a high standard of living makes Gulf states like Kuwait a very attractive target for cyber-criminals. This is amplified by the fact that the implementation of an appropriate level of security has taken something of a back seat there, both on the state and private enterprise levels. To give internet users powerful and future-proof protection against these threats, NTEC, a fully owned company by the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), signed an agency agreement through its fully owned subsidiary Impulse Int’l, with the German IT security provider Secucloud at the end of February. The support from NTEC will enable the cloud security specialist to expand the adoption of its protection solution in the Gulf growth markets.
