What is Middle East Cybersecurity?

According to MarketsandMarkets, cybersecurity is a set of technologies, processes, and practices to fortify critical systems, such as networks, physical devices, programs, and information, from unauthorized access, insider threats, and malicious attacks. These cyberattacks can affect data transmission across the networks, cause operational disruptions, and result in money extortion/ransomware. Cybersecurity, or information security, can be provided through hardware, software, and services.

In the Middle East region, evolving developments in digitalization initiatives, the growing impact of Gen AI, and growing exposure to sophisticated cyberattacks are the major factors for adopting cybersecurity solutions and services. Countries across the region are establishing national cybersecurity strategies and critical information infrastructure protection policies to safeguard the protection of vital digital assets.
