Market Opportunity

The Kingdom is ranked first regionally and 13th globally in the Global Cybersecurity Index for its commitment to cybersecurity. However, it ranks second, after the U.S., in the cost of data breaches and has the highest number of average data breaches.

To help combat the data breaches, the Saudi Government established the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) to protect vital interests, sensitive infrastructure, and boost cybersecurity. The Saudi Federation for Cyber Security and Programming was mandated to build and develop national capabilities in cybersecurity and programming based on international practices and standards. Industry spending in Saudi Arabia is expected to reach $1.87 billion by 2020. Areas for growth include security analytics, threat intelligence, mobile security, and cloud security.

Mission Agenda will include:

  • One-on-one meetings
  • Networking events
  • Participation at the Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF), hosted by the NCA

Conference Agenda will include in-depth plenary sessions regarding:

  • Cyber Industry
  • Threats and Resilience
