With cyber security on high alert worldwide, the Middle East with its wealth of natural resources and regional conflicts has been one of the highest spammed countries in the world according to Symantec’s Global Security report 2011. With increased cyber security threats and crimes in the Middle East, especially the GCC nations have realized the need for improving cyber security awareness. Nations worldwide are increasingly being aware of the threats the cyber world stances, to not just their national security but economic security as well.

Overall, the spending on security products has stayed healthy, despite the global recession. Regulatory compliance mandates and the importance of data continue to push companies to invest in information security products.
