The MENA region is considered one of the world’s most targeted regions for cyber-attacks, largely due to its rising populations, pre-existing political tensions and major industrial projects which are driving the next levels of innovation and digitalisation that aim to transform the future of the region. Although the region strives to be front-runners in digital innovation, the level of security maturity must be improved if they are to achieve this goal.
