Morocco's cybersecurity landscape in 2026 shows a rising trend in ransomware attacks, with over 1,250 incidents reported annually. Nearly 38% of organizations have been affected, indicating growing vulnerabilities despite increased awareness. The average ransom paid has increased to USD 35,000, reflecting the threat actors' escalation. Moroccan businesses are investing approximately USD 150 million in cybersecurity to combat these threats, aiming to improve detection and response capabilities.
The country's detection rate of ransomware attacks has improved to 82%, thanks to enhanced security infrastructure and government initiatives. However, the persistent rise in attacks emphasizes the need for stronger preventive measures and awareness programs. Strengthening cybersecurity resilience is crucial for Morocco's digital economy, especially as more sectors digitize and cyber threats become more sophisticated in 2026.
