Spire Solutions, a regional leader in information security solutions, is expanding its business footprint into Saudi Arabia with local presence in Riyadh by adding a new country manager to direct its operations there.

Ehab Derbas has extensive experience in sales and management, with an emphasis on IT and cyber security. With over 18 years of experience, he helps organisations understand risk and adopt effective defence strategies and solutions.  

“Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s highest spenders on cyber security, and with good reason. It has a robust economy with some of the region’s biggest organisations, a large population, a strategic geographic location and a strong consumer spending power. All of this makes it an extremely attractive target for cyber criminals, which explains its growing need for security,” said Derbas,

“With its trusted portfolio of services and solutions to defend against cyber attacks, Spire Solutions is well positioned to meet Saudi Arabia’s security needs. This strategic expansion with local presence in Riyadh and experienced leadership to drive regional operations and sales will help cement our presence in the market,” said Avinash Adavani, CEO at Spire Solutions.

The Middle East’s cyber security market is expected to grow from $11.38 billion in 2017 to $22.4 billion in 2022, with Saudi Arabia expected to have the largest share during the five-year period, according to a report. – TradeArabia News Service
