CyberCON’22 Cyber security threats are evolving in Iraq due to many factors, and these factors we can summarize in:

  • Political situation in Iraq and in the area
  • The evolution of online business and Digitalization in the country
  • Increase in the demand for online payment services and digital banking
/ OBJECTIVE

All of these contributes to increase number of cyber attacks on different sectors. Many big enterprises in Iraq suffer from major cyber attacks during the period from 2018 to 2022, and most popular attacks was ransomware attacks and Denial of services and because of these cyber-attacks many enterprises in Iraq lost a considerable amount of money to recover from the attack and then to improve the way they deal with cyber security. On the other hand, the small and medium companies working in Iraq also suffer from the cybercrime because they were not taking cyber security seriously. As a result, the culture start changing in Iraq and people start talking about cyber security, but with no proper guidance who understands the risk and have global engagement with the global cyber security vendors.

Our response to this finding was “CyberCON'22” event.
