<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the cyber security landscape across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), forcing enterprises to rethink long-standing security strategies as attackers move beyond email and target collaboration platforms, digital identities and even enterprise AI deployments.</p> <p>The shift comes as research from KnowBe4 shows that 86% of phishing attacks are now AI-driven, with threat actors increasingly exploiting platforms such as Microsoft Teams, calendars, Slack and messaging applications to launch social engineering campaigns.</p> <p>The findings align with a broader regional trend already reshaping<a href="https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366642842/AI-threats-push-Middle-East-CISOs-towards-identity-first-security"

<p>Even though it said the financial year saw increased demand for its next-generation products and networks, the UK’s leading telco, BT, has announced a fiscal year 2026 with noticeable falls in revenue and broadband customers, offset by a modest gain in profitability.</p> <p>For the <a href="https://newsroom.bt.com/bt-continues-to-deliver-record-fibre-build-connections-and-customer-satisfaction/">full financial year to 31 March 2026</a>, BT reported revenues of £19.7bn, down by 3% compared with the previous financial year, with adjustedrevenue of £19.6bn, slipping by 4%. These figures were driven by lower international revenue, including divestments, declines in handset trading and declines in adjusted UK service revenue.</p>

<p>If one were to ask most people what they know about Kazakhstan, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if they were to describe it as a fossil fuel-rich former Soviet republic. Indeed, that is what the world’s ninth-largest country by land area and largest landlocked nation is.</p> <p>Yet while that is accurate to say right now, the Kazakhstan government is planning a future that looks rather different. A digital transformation across the nation is in play, looking to take advantage of the country’s natural resources and its strategic geographic position between Russia and China to create a land where critical infrastructure encompasses data networks and connectivity lines in addition to oil pipelines. And where telcos are already primed to plug in to the opportunity comin
