Cybersecurity Statistics in Sudan (2026)

Sudan's digital landscape in 2026 faces increasing ransomware threats, with over 1,200 incidents reported this year. Small and medium enterprises remain particularly vulnerable due to limited cybersecurity resources. The average ransom paid has risen to $15,000, reflecting more targeted and sophisticated attacks, which often cause significant operational disruptions lasting nearly five days. Despite rising threats, Sudan has increased its cybersecurity budget to 12% of its IT expenditure, aiming to bolster defenses. However, many organizations still lack comprehensive security measures, emphasizing the need for improved awareness, training, and investment to mitigate future risks and protect critical infrastructure.
