Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: Surging Government Initiatives to Improve Cyber Capabilities - Governments in the Middle East are strategizing and developing initiatives to strengthen the region's cybersecurity capabilities. The rapid increase in digitization has enabled governments in nations such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE to implement cyber security measures to protect critical information about the country and its citizens. Governments have formed specific institutions and regulatory entities to ensure that the stramlines work and that cyberattacks are mitigated at the national level. Governments in nations such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are developing numerous initiatives, regulations, and specific institutions such as the National Electronic Security Authority (NESA) in the UAE and the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) in Saudi Arabia, among others.
Challenges: Unavailability of Skilled Professionals to Manage Cyber Security Solutions – The increasing number of cyber security issues and threat cases across the region are leading to the surging demand for technologically advanced cyber security solutions, including software as well as hardware components. The integration of various technically advanced algorithms and regular maintenance and bug detection requires skilled professionals to efficiently manage these issues. However, the lack of skilled individuals in the region poses a significant drawback in the overall regional market growth. The lack of education programs and training, particularly for IT technicians, in Middle Eastern countries is a key market restraint. Individuals with limited access to education lack the necessary skills to handle complex processes. Furthermore, strict competition and higher pay scales for cybersecurity technicians present additional hurdle to the Middle Eastern Cybersecurity Market.
