TREND MICRO TO HELP PLUG IT SECURITY SKILLS GAP IN KSA
Dr Moataz Bin Ali, VP for Trend Micro Middle East and North Africa rend Micro, a global leader in
T cybersecurity solutions, has stepped up to support Saudi Arabia’ s efforts to enhance the security of the Kingdom’ s ICT infrastructure.
With the launch of the Trend Micro Saudi Academy for Cybersecurity, offered exclusively for Saudi nationals, the company aims to address the shortage of local expertise needed to keep KSA’ s digital space secure.
The cybersecurity workforce shortfall remains a top concern for governments and organisations not only in KSA and the rest of the Middle East, but across the world as well.
The gap between supply and demand in cybersecurity professionals is feared to widen in the Middle East if not properly addressed, especially with the burgeoning ICT market in the region.
Dr Moataz Bin Ali, VP for Trend Micro Middle East and North Africa, said:“ Saudi Arabia is one of the most targeted countries in the world when it comes to cybersecurity.
“ While the local security landscape has improved over the past few years – thanks to the government raising the issue of strong cybersecurity to national importance – there are still challenges that need urgent attention, primarily the shortage of local cybersecurity talents.
“ We are glad to be given the opportunity to help the government in advancing ICT security capabilities in the Kingdom.” www. intelligentciso. com | Issue 06
