CybersecuritySaudi Cybersecurity Threat Landscape “More Intense and Complex Than Ever”
Leading Saudi IT decision-makers agree that cybersecurity threats are growing in intensity and scale across the Kingdom. The situation is putting businesses at risk of hits to both reputation and bottom line. A new survey commissioned by F5 Networks found that nearly seven in ten of surveyed businesses (68%) regarded cybercrime as a “severe” threat. 75% of respondents said that their business’ sales and marketing efforts would suffer most from an attack. Worryingly, only 15% are confident their organisation has consistent IT security measures across its entire IT network.
The Kingdom’s burgeoning cyber security market size is indicative of the new cybersecurity threat landscape. According to MicroMarket Monitor, the market is expected to grow from US$1.51 billion in 2013 to US$3.48 billion in 2019 at a CAGR of 14.50% for the period 2013 to 2019.
For the wider region, MarketsandMarkets suggests that the Middle East cybersecurity market is on course to grow from US$5.17 billion in 2014 to US$9.56 billion in 2019 at a CAGR of 13.07%.
