More than half of cybersecurity leaders in the Middle East cite a lack of funding as the top challenge in doing their jobs.
According to new research from Deloitte, some 51% of respondents cited the lack of funding, compared to 36% of security leaders worldwide.
That said, cybersecurity spending in the Middle East and Africa is set to top $238 billion in 2024, according to Gartner — a huge rise from a projected $2.6 billion in 2022 — in light of increased attacks against targets in the regions.
