KSA Cybersecurity Market
The economy of Saudi Arabia is the largest in the Middle East, world's 18th-largest by nominal GDP and 17th-largest by PPP. The cybersecurity sector of KSA is highly dominated by the services sector, since extending cybersecurity services to other parties attracts higher subscription charge as opposed to providing standalone solutions. Being a technologically advanced country leading to a high usage of the internet, it results in an inherent demand for cybersecurity services.KSA Cybersecurity Market Segmentations
- By Component (Solutions vs. Services): Entities generally approach a cybersecurity service provider to take care of various functions rather than a standalone solution. Therefore, the revenue contribution is higher for services
- By Deployment Type (On-Premise vs Cloud): Cloud segment contributed to the highest share, and it is attributed to increasing technological integration and surging digital usage by consumers post COVID-19
- By Region (Northern vs Eastern vs Central vs Western vs Southern): The central region dominated the Saudi Arabia cybersecurity market in 2021 since Riyadh, the capital and financial hub, is present there. Subsequently, the government’s plan to establish economic zones in the region, is expected to boost the number of enterprises and foreign direct investments in the region
- By User (Medium and Small Enterprises vs Large Enterprises): Cybersecurity service providers try to diversify their portfolio between large enterprises and MSMEs, since extending services to only large enterprises is risky even though the subscription charges for these enterprises is much more, considering a greater number of devices requiring cybersecurity measures
