GCC Cyber Security Market Overview

The continuing success of digitization across the Middle East and rapidly among the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council), brings with it complementary and growing exposure to the risk of cyber attacks.

Market Drivers and Challenges

Middle East countries particularly GCC countries are pursuing digitization and the mass adoption of connected technologies by the governments, enterprises and consumers at rapid pace has significantly raised the concerns for cyber security threats. The region's digital market is expanding at a CAGR of 12% and is expected to be worth more than USD 85.0 billion in 2024. Rapidly rising digitization along with spurring incidences of cyber crimes has significantly shifted the regional governments focus towards this national security threat and resulted in various initiatives by the government to curb this threat. For instance, in 2016 Qatar's Ministry of Interior establishes a new state-of-the-art security monitoring and counter cyber crime headquarters to inspect the escalating number of cyber offenses in the country.

Not only BFSI, Cooperate firms and government institutes are threatened by the cyber attacks but also the general public suffers from these attacks which intense the current situation as the privacy of general public is on verge. In 2016, publically engineered phishing mails along with other e-mail cyber attacks were major concern. These threats are expected to grow as the reliability on internet and usage of smartphones are increasing in today's world. Moreover, phishing attacks are the most common security challenge faced by the organizations that enable access to bank details, passwords and other sensitive information including phone calls, emails and social media accounts. Rising adoption of smartphones and growing penetration of internet among general public and in industries such as retail, healthcare and energy is likely to supplement the growth of GCC cyber security market.
