The data-centric security market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 188.22 million in 2022 to US$ 556.66 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 19.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Multi-Cloud Strategy

Artificial intelligence (AI) is well suited to quickly analyze large amounts of data and apply heuristic algorithms to identify patterns. Black hat hackers are now using AI approaches to analyze network traffic and stolen data such as passwords to identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited immediately. Similarly, cybersecurity teams are using AI to analyze data collected from defenses and network traffic, looking for early warning of cyberattacks and new attack patterns. Hence, AI will play a crucial role in developing the data-centric security solution. Furthermore, in recent years, enterprise workloads have been dispersed across several cloud environments and evolved quickly, which is considered a multi-cloud security strategy. Nearly 92% of cloud solution adopters either have a multi-cloud strategy or are in the process of adopting an affordable multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategy in the next few days, according to a new study by Flexera. Hence, the organization will focus on data security instead of application or server. In addition to increasing flexibility and layering automation and intelligence into security across platforms, multi-cloud security solutions with increase with the point solutions that tie security to a single site. Therefore, businesses will be better able to defend themselves against contemporary dangers when using multi-cloud security solutions.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted businesses’ operations, and multi-cloud helped businesses adapt to the new normal. Due to the recent turmoil, more than half (61%) of Flexera respondents say their focus is on providing more flexible ways of working. Most companies conclude that their remote workers may expand in the future. Thus, multi-cloud is the most flexible IT environment that enables this flexibility by distributing data across many geographic locations for user proximity and business continuity.

Market Overview

The data-centric security market in MEA includes South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of the MEA. The energy industry of the region had seen an increase in data-centric attacks. Rapid digitalization in countries like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia has enabled the number of connected devices by opening new gateways for data-centric attacks. Due to the recent low price of crude oil, the regional governments are increasing their investments in information and communication technologies. Owing to this, most of the region’s social infrastructure, government services, financial sector, schools, and hospitals are increasingly implementing interconnected solutions with minimal attention to the security needs of these developments. The main factors driving the threat of data-centric attacks in the Middle East & African region are the growing vulnerabilities in digital communication networks and supply chains, growth in the user base of online consumers, and, most importantly, the region’s deficient cybersecurity infrastructure. Banks in the region are answering to the consumers’ preferences of the digital era by increasing their investments in digital modernizations while also focusing on improving the security of mobile banking and the user experience. For instance, Emirates NBD (ENBD), the leading bank in the region, invested AED 1 billion in digital transformation. In addition, the banks, such as Mashreq and Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD), were early adopters of digital transformation.

At 19.8% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Data-Centric Security Market is speculated to be worth US$ 556.66 million by 2028, says The Insight Partners

According to The Insight Partners’ research, the Middle East & Africa data-centric security market was valued at US$ 188.22 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 556.66 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 19.8% from 2022 to 2028. Increase in data including bring your own device (BYOD) policies and incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-cloud strategy are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.

This growth is attributed to the enormous increase in people working, studying, and amusing themselves from home. Hence, securing these data will be the companies’ primary objective, as data-driven business models will be widely adopted in the future. Hence, such a transition is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the data-centric-security vendors over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the IT infrastructure is anticipated to become more complicated and heterogeneous due to the introduction of new platforms, bring your own device (BYOD) regulations, choose your own device (CYOD) trends, business apps, and other technologies. The BYOD and CYOD trends are becoming more and more common in business settings due to the quick improvements in mobile computing. Through mobile devices, employees may access organizational data from anywhere, at any time, thanks to these developments, which also boost employee productivity to protect organizational data from potential hazards and maintain its confidentiality and integrity. Based on the Bitglass survey, 69% of respondents said their organizations allow employees to use personal devices for work while allowing contractors, partners, customers, and suppliers. However, several companies fail to maintain security due to the unsuccessful incorporation of new devices into the existing security infrastructure. Based on the report by Software Guild, 72% of organizations have no plans to secure BYOD devices. Hence, such factors will likely create mammoth opportunities for the data-centric- security market players.

On the contrary, concerns regarding the adoption of cloud-based security solutions hurdles the growth of Middle East & Africa data-centric security market.
