Jordan's cybersecurity landscape in 2026 shows a significant rise in ransomware incidents, with targeted attacks increasing by 12%. The financial impact is evident as ransom payments have grown, averaging $45,000 USD per incident, indicating more sophisticated and costly ransomware campaigns. The government and private sectors have ramped up cybersecurity budgets, allocating over 15 million JOD to bolster defenses and response capabilities.
A notable trend is the increased adoption of cyber insurance, with 38% of organizations now protected against ransomware and other cyber threats.
