Saudi Arabia continues its international leadership in cybersecurity, maintaining the first position in global ranking of World Competitiveness Yearbook's cybersecurity indicator for 2025, released by the Institute of Management Development (IMD). The top ranking is a result of the focus and guidance of the Kingdom's cybersecurity sector. The Saudi Arabia cybersecurity market is valued at USD 2.19 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 3.67 billion by 2030, expanding at a 10.88% CAGR.
