Summary

Hide ▲

Advanced persistent threat (APT) groups are increasingly exploiting gaps in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) frameworks as attack surfaces. Mohammed Almunajam from Tuwaiq Academy highlights that attackers are targeting weaknesses in governance approvals, compliance cycles, and investigation workflows, rather than just exploiting code. This trend has been observed in recent cybercrime and digital forensic investigations, indicating a shift in attacker strategies. Almunajam will present the "6 Black Hat Laws," a new behavioral security framework, at Black Hat Middle East and Africa 2025 to help enterprises combat these threats.
