The Middle East’s information technology (IT) security market could be worth as much as $500 million over the next three years, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) being the second largest source of demand after Saudi Arabia, say industry experts.
A significant portion of that UAE demand will stem from the capital's improvements to its existing IT security strategy, because emphasis is shifting from a paper-based method of document exchange to a digital one which demands electronic privacy protection, user authentication, and transaction integrity.
UAE sectors demonstrating significant interest in enhanced IT security include, but are not limited to energy and utilities, civil security, banking and finance, and government. — (menareport.com)
