GEC NEWS WIRECountries across the Middle East are stepping up cyber security measures in response to the recent surge in attacks, but none more so than Saudi Arabia: according to a recent report, the Middle East’s cyber security market is expected to grow from USD 11.38 billion in 2017 to USD 22.4 billion in 2022, with KSA expected to have the largest share during the five year period.
As it fortifies its regional presence in its second decade of operations, “Disruptive Distributor” Spire Solutions is expanding its business footprint into KSA with local presence in Riyadh by adding a new country manager to direct its operations there, Mr. Ehab Derbas.
Mr. Derbas has extensive experience in sales and management, with an emphasis on IT and cyber security. With over 18 years of experience, he helps organisations understand risk and adopt effective defense strategies and solutions.
‘Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s highest spenders on cyber security, and with good reason. It has a robust economy with some of the region’s biggest organisations, a large population, a strategic geographic location and a strong consumer spending power. All of this makes it an extremely attractive target for cyber criminals, which explains its growing need for security,’ commented Ehab Derbas, Country Manager KSA at Spire Solutions.
‘With its trusted portfolio of services and solutions to defend against cyber attacks, Spire Solutions is well positioned to meet KSA’s security needs. This strategic expansion with local presence in Riyadh and experienced leadership to drive regional operations and sales will help cement our presence in the market,’ said Avinash Adavani, CEO at Spire Solutions.
