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
