Not many countries in the world command a position of global reference. For obvious religious and cultural reasons, more than a billion Muslims look towards Saudi Arabia. And for obvious resources reasons, the world counts on the Kingdom in times of global economical, geographical or natural instabilities.
Perfectly aware of the influence bestowed on it, and from the first moment of its formation, Saudi Arabia enacted bold initiatives (or reforms) in the interest of the future of its citizens, as well as its strategic position in the world. Last of which being, Vision 2030, a behemoth multi-axes transformation of Saudi’s human capital, society itself, its vast and multiple natural resources readying the country for the next chapter.
Such endeavors carry the dreams and ambitions of a nation. However, they’re not void of the contextual risks associated with the scale and tools of any transformation; digital transformation in particular.
Risks, the Kingdom is all set to counter through its comprehensive National Cybersecurity Strategy, designed to achieve a safe and reliable Saudi cyberspace that enables the perfect balance between security, trust, and prosperity for all. Dell’s PowerProtect Cyber Recovery solutions are proving to be the next generation software platform for modern cloud data protection.
By 2023, the Saudi Cyber Security Market is projected to reach a value of SAR21 billion ($5.6 billion), with a CAGR of 12.4%, making the Kingdom one of the global rising stars for adopting digital technologies and improving cybersecurity. With Dell’s plan to develop high-tech initiatives in the Kingdom in cybersecurity, multicloud, artificial intelligence, 5G, machine learning, and edge computing, it promises to help contribute to the Saudi Vision 2030.
Technology focused businesses operating in the region will be well-positioned to take advantage of Vision 2030’s game-changing initiatives over the coming decades as it presents tremendous opportunities for development of the Kingdom’s information and communication technology sector.
