The cyber security market of the Middle East and African region (MEA) is expected to grow to $13.43 billion by the year 2019 over a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7 per cent, according to a recent report from Cybersecurity Ventures, a leading research and business development firm.

In view of this, India-based Koenig Solutions, a leading IT training provider and top offshore training company, highlight its cyber security focused offerings during its participation this year's edition of the GCC Cyber Security Summit, which will be held from September 13 to September 16 at the Beach Rotana in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Koenig is a Silver Sponsor of the event.

“Despite the rapid growth being experienced by the global IT segment, there is still a major lack of skills availability, particularly in the MEA region,” said Rohit Aggarwal, CEO and founder of Koenig Solutions Limited.

“As such, a large number of enterprises will rely on value added resellers and system integrators to help address their security needs, which in turn will create opportunities for vendors who can strategically align themselves with emerging buying segments.

“The growing adoption of mobile, cloud and social media is expected to drive in an increase in use of new security technology and services in the next few years. With all of these developments in mind, the GCC Cyber Security Summit is being positioned as an ideal platform for industry decision makers and stakeholders along with public and private organizations to gather and discuss timely trends and issues in the cyber security segment,” he added.

The summit is expected to provide collective guidance and analysis coming from some of the world’s premier cyber security experts. The event seeks to examine regional threat perceptions, risks and solutions, while also assessing how attacks on critical infrastructure should be handled and how to ensure secure government and business continuity.

“We are putting all our efforts in addressing the growing need for the improvement in security operations and incident response capabilities of enterprise infrastructure. Koenig will be conducting intensive workshops on topics such as cyber security system, virtualization security, and wireless network security, which will prove to be of immense value to security professionals present at the event,” concluded Aditya Girish, territory manager, Koenig Solutions Limited.

Koenig recently opened its new training institute in Knowledge Village Dubai with an objective to accommodate the growing demand of IT trainings. – TradeArabia News Service
