Egypt is undergoing rapid digital transformation across finance, telecom, government, and retail sectors. With this increase in online platforms comes a rise in cyber threats targeting sensitive infrastructure and data.
Read below some of the reasons you should start investing in cybersecurity for your business in Egypt:
Why protecting your company from cyber threats is so important
Cyber threats are not just technical issues—they can damage reputations, incur regulatory penalties, and lead to significant financial losses. Recent laws like the Personal Data Protection Act and the Cybercrime Act bolster Egypt’s legal stance against cyber threats, enhancing both prevention and enforcement mechanisms.
Despite legislative progress, a shortage of cybersecurity professionals and limited awareness within businesses are significant hurdles. Cyber threats continue to evolve, requiring informed, proactive responses. That's why businesses must adopt a multi-layered defense strategy: legal compliance, employee awareness, cloud/network security, and expert management.
Best Practices for Corporate Cybersecurity in Egypt
- Conduct regular risk assessments to stay ahead of vulnerabilities.
- Invest in employee cybersecurity training, especially targeting phishing and social engineering tactics.
- Implement compliance-ready tools for data protection, such as privacy controls, threat detection, and network security.
- Consider proactive managed services, particularly in cloud and IoT-secure environments, where risks are more complex.
