EVENT OVERVIEW

The Middle East's cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by increased digitalization and the rising prevalence of cybercrime. The region's governments and businesses are investing heavily in cybersecurity measures to protect their digital infrastructure and critical assets. Key Countries in GCC are leading the way in developing and implementing cybersecurity strategies.

KEY TRENDS AND CHALLENGES:

Rapid Growth: The Middle East's cybersecurity market is projected to reach $31 billion by 2030, reflecting a significant increase from its value of about $7.5 billion in 2022.

Increased Cyberattacks: The region is experiencing a surge in cyberattacks, including malware, hacking, phishing, and ransomware, highlighting the need for stronger defenses.

Government Initiatives: Governments across the Middle East are actively implementing cybersecurity strategies and regulations to enhance their national capabilities and protect sensitive information.

Cloud Adoption: The adoption of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions is expected to grow significantly, offering cost-effectiveness, scalability, and ease of deployment.

Skill Gap: The growing demand for cybersecurity professionals is outpacing the supply, creating a skills gap that needs to be addressed through training and education.

Geopolitical Factors: Cyberattacks in the region are increasingly mirroring geopolitical tensions, with cyber warfare becoming a more prominent tactic.

Focus on Resilience: Organisations are focusing on building cyber resilience and developing robust incident response plans to mitigate the impact of cyberattacks.

Use of AI: The adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) for cybersecurity is increasing, with organizations using it for threat detection, response, and vulnerability management.

Join us at Cyber Next Summit & Awards 2025 to discuss cybersecurity narrative and drive innovation towards a safer, smarter digital era.
