Executive summary

Executive summary

Worldwide trends

Worldwide: First-time deployments of cyber-security solutions by SMBs in MEA will outpace the worldwide rate of adoption, fuelling strong growth in security spending 

Trends by security category

Security overview: the demand for hosted/cloud-based, mobile and remotely managed security services will drive growth in SMB security spending

Endpoint and network security: spending on these services will grow at a CAGR of 5%, but their share of total security spend will decline during the forecast period

Mobile security: mobile security spending in MEA is expected to grow rapidly as SMBs contend with an increasing number of mobile devices and users

Cloud security: spending on cloud-based security will grow the faster than any other security category, driven by the rising migration of business processes to the cloud

Security hardware: the security hardware share of total cyber-security spending will decline as SMBs shift to cloud-based security solutions 

Security management: SMBs are prioritising outsourced cyber-security management, which is driving growth in managed security spending 

Trends by business size

Firm size: MBs accounted for two-thirds of cyber-security-related spending and the majority are reporting plans to increase their security budgets

Firm size and spending category: security spending by SBs will grow slightly faster than that by MBs, but MBs will account for the majority of overall spending

Trends by routes to market

Security channels: security spending by SMBs in MEA is shifting from traditional channels to MSPs, albeit not as rapidly as in other regions
