UAE Managed Security Services Market Investment and Growth Opportunity Analysis, 2019-2028

UAE Managed security services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 13% during the forecast period 2022-2028. The regulations imposed for insufficient data privacy measures are anticipated to propel the growth of the managed security services market across the nation. Furthermore, organizations have started shifting towards allocating 25% or less of their security budgets towards MSS owing to the increasing cyberattacks and continuously evolving threat landscape.

Market Dynamics

Additionally, the scarcity of in-house talent and expertise and the upsurging need to overcome complex and targeted attacks are anticipated to further fuel the market growth. Rising cyber-attack incidents over the past few years along with increasing digitalization in several sectors would also act as a major driver for the adoption of managed security services in the UAE.

The market for managed security services in the UAE is anticipated to increase strongly during the next period as a result of the retail industry’s growing digitalization. Rising e-commerce platforms and increased sales as a result of expanding retail, particularly in Dubai, as well as the city’s hosting of shopping festivals have contributed to the hiring of managed security service providers to protect websites from cyber attackers and boost productivity and efficiency at work.

BFSI segment to hold significant growth due to the higher probability of cyber threats in the banking sector

On the other hand, the BFSI industry has also made room for market expansion as a result of a growing necessity to safeguard the system against data breaching activities, which are thought to serve as a growth-promoting catalyst of the UAE-managed security services market.

The BFSI segment is anticipated to gain significant growth and is also expected to dominate the UAE-managed security service market during the period 2022-2028.  The BFSI segment is constantly using manager security services due to the higher probability of cyber threats in the banking sector.

Banking organizations hold the confidential data of multiple customers which is a common target for many cybercrimes. Thus, the use of managed security services in the BFSI sector becomes necessary. Additionally, several government compliances make it mandatory for companies in the energy domain to adopt managed security services for managing their routine activities.
