On April 28, 2025, a massive power outage struck Spain, Portugal, and parts of France, disrupting life across the Iberian Peninsula. The blackout began at 12:33 CEST and led to the sudden loss of 15 gigawatts of electricity, causing cascading failures across interconnected grids. While power was restored to most areas within 10 hours, some regions remained down for nearly 22 hours, with full recovery in Spain by 11:00 CEST on April 29. Portugal’s grid was also stabilized by early the next day using hydropower, gas turbines, and emergency imports from Morocco and France.

Cloud storage has transformed the way we store and access data, offering convenience and flexibility. However, with these advantages come security risks, including data breaches, unauthorized access, and credential leakage.

Cyberattacks have crippled businesses, exposing sensitive data and halting operations. Yet, companies with encryption in place have managed to recover swiftly and minimize damage.

وفقًا لتقرير شركة IBM بعنوان "تكلفة اختراق البيانات لعام 2022"، يبلغ متوسط تكلفة اختراق البيانات على المؤسسات حوالي 4.35 مليون دولار، حيث تعرضت 83٪ من المؤسسات التي شملتها الدراسة لأكثر من اختراق واحد للبيانات خلال فترة عملها.

حان الوقت لتسليط الضوء على أحد أكثر القضايا إلحاحًا التي تواجهها الشركات اليوم – التهديدات السيبرانية. إذ أصبحت الشركات الصغيرة والمتوسطة (SMBs) هدفًا متزايدًا لمجرمي الإنترنت، والإحصائيات في هذا الشأن مقلقة. إليك بعضًا منها:

الرعاية الصحية هي واحدة من أكبر ثلاث صناعات مستهدفة من حيث الهجمات الإلكترونية. تولد الصناعة أيضا حوالي 30٪ من حجم البيانات في العالم ، مع جزء كبير يحتوي على معلومات حساسة للمرضى. تتطلب هذه الكمية الهائلة من البيانات ، والتي يشار إليها غالبا باسم المعلومات الصحية المحمية (PHI) ، تدابير أمنية قوية لضمان خصوصية المريض والامتثال للوائح.
