“Our mid-year-round up report sheds light on the threat landscape for enterprises in Bahrain and highlights the need for companies to adopt a strong IT security posture and strategise their way forward in the digital economy.”
Globally, Trend Micro solutions have blocked 40.9 billion email threats, malicious files and malicious URLs for customers in H1 2021, which is a 47% year-on-year increase.
