Cyberani by Aramco Digital a subsidiary of Aramco, is a premier cybersecurity solutions provider established in 2021. The company specializes in bolstering cyber resilience and safeguarding critical digital assets across.[1]
History
[edit]Aramco computers were attacked by a virus on 15 August 2012.[2] The following day Aramco announced that none of the infected computers were part of the network directly tied to oil production and that the company would soon resume full operations. Hackers claimed responsibility for the spread of the computer virus.[3] The virus hit companies within the oil and energy sectors. The group later indicated that the Shamoon virus had been used in the attack. Due to this attack, the main site of Aramco went down and a message came to the home page apologising to customers.[4][5] Computer security specialists said that "The attack, known as Shamoon, is said to have hit at least one organisation in the sector.[6] Shamoon is capable of wiping files and rendering several computers on a network unusable. Richard Clarke suggests the attack was part of Iran's retaliation for the US involvement in Stuxnet.[7] Security researcher Chris Kubecka, who helped the company establish security after the attack, detailed the level of sophistication in her Black Hat USA 2015 presentation and episode 30 of Darknet Diaries.[8][9]
In 2021, Cyberani by Aramco Digital was established to be the company's arm in the field of information security and to protect the Aramco company from any future cyberattack.[10]
