The need for cybersecurity protections will continue to increase in Qatar, reflected in the market’s growth from over $1 billion USD in 2022 to an expected $1.5 billion USD by 2026, growing at a rate of 10 percent per year.
In this ever-changing threat landscape, organizations in Qatar are actively working towards strengthening their security postures and fostering innovation. They are acutely aware of the scarcity of security specialists, the challenges posed by remote workforces, evolving compliance and regulatory requirements, the complexities of hybrid environments, the rapid adoption of cloud technologies, and the intricacies of next-generation advancements.
As a result, Qatar is making significant investments in security services. As Qatar solidifies its position as a renowned trade and investment hub in the Middle East, hosting prestigious events such as the inaugural Formula One Grand Prix, Expo 2023, and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the importance of cybersecurity has reached unprecedented levels.
