This progress is expanding the national attack surface at an equivalent pace. Telemetry shared at KNext Rabat 2025 reported more than 20.7 million cyberattack attempts during the first half of 2025, while data from the Directorate General for Information Systems Security (DGSSI) indicates 879 distinct cyberattacks during the year, including 109 classified as critical incidents affecting finance, telecommunications, public administration, and essential services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
