AI-powered threats test Saudi Arabia's cyber defenses
AI‑driven cyberattacks, including AI‑generated phishing and deepfakes, are increasing pressure on Saudi Arabia’s cyber defenses.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the cyberthreat landscape in Saudi Arabia, enabling more sophisticated and scalable attacks such as AI‑generated phishing emails, deepfake voice scams, and automated phishing tools. The Kingdom reportedly accounts for a large share of Middle East cyber incidents, with phishing alone surging significantly in recent quarters. Security experts warn that threat actors are evolving faster than current defenses, placing a strain on critical sectors and government infrastructure.
