« Building a reputation can take decades, but a single cyber incident can collapse it in minutes”, said Assad Arabi, Managing Director, Africa & Venture Markets, Trend Micro. “This underscores the critical need for organizations to prioritize strong cybersecurity measures to safeguard their operations and combat modern threats effectively. Our 2023 cybersecurity annual report not only demonstrates our unwavering commitment to protecting Tunisia’s digital infrastructure but also provides valuable insights into emerging cyber threats and best practices. By staying proactive and vigilant, organizations can mitigate risks and maintain their reputation in an ever-evolving digital landscape”.
