UAE Under Digital Siege 2025

Inside the UAE’s Fight Against Iranian APT Warfare and Expanding Critical Infrastructure Risk

Iran-aligned APT groups are now among the UAE’s most persistent threats, striking energy, finance, government, and smart infrastructure. With widespread exposure and high-volume daily attacks, organizations are replacing fragmented tools with Seceon’s unified AI platform, delivering sub-five-minute APT detection, automated compliance, and real-time protection across IT, OT, cloud, and identity systems.

A Quick Glimpse Inside the Whitepaper:

This whitepaper shows how the UAE, now facing intensified Iranian APT operations, is contending with government impersonation attacks, financial system targeting, OT and smart-grid exposure, and rising AI-driven cybercrime, creating an urgent need for unified AI security that delivers fast, automated detection.

Here’s what makes it worth your time:

  • A rapidly escalating threat landscape shaped by Iranian-linked APT35, APT33, and CyberAv3ngers, credential theft through RedLine and META, supply chain infiltration, and high-frequency attacks on digital services.
  • Real-world impact, including hundreds of thousands of daily intrusion attempts, more than 223,000 exposed assets, widespread identity abuse, OT and SCADA probing, financial fraud attempts, and multi-sector operational disruption.
  • Unified SIEM, XDR, SOAR, UEBA, threat intelligence, and OT and ICS monitoring, securing the UAE’s expanding IT, OT, cloud, fintech, energy, telecom, government, and smart city ecosystems.
  • Deep OT and ICS visibility to catch early signs of unauthorized Modbus activity, SCADA manipulation, smart grid reconnaissance, IoT exploitation, and cross-layer lateral movement.

This is about protecting the UAE’s digital economy, national infrastructure, and smart service ecosystem from some of the region’s most persistent and well-resourced adversaries.
