QKS Group Reveals that Operational Technology (OT) Security Market is Projected to Register a CAGR of above average by 2030 in Middle East & Africa (MEA).
MEA (Middle East & Africa) exhibits a significant above-average market share in Operational Technology (OT) Security, driven by rapid industrialization, infrastructure expansion, and increasing connectivity. Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and South Africa invest in cybersecurity solutions to protect oil & gas facilities, utilities, and smart city initiatives from cyber threats. The region adopts advanced security technologies such as industrial firewalls, secure access controls, and threat intelligence systems to ensure operational continuity and resilience against cyber incidents. Collaboration with international cybersecurity firms and adherence to regional regulatory requirements enhance the cybersecurity posture of MEA's industrial sectors.
QKS Group defines an Operational Technology (OT) Security as “the protection of operational technology (OT) systems that monitor critical infrastructure and industrial processes. That includes protecting systems that provide energy, water, manufacturing, and more. These systems process sensor data from across industrial enterprises, enabling alerting and management of processes. ICS usually refers to systems that manage and operate infrastructure-supporting functions like water, power, transportation, manufacturing, and other critical services. With the increased digitization of nearly all aspects of commercial and public business, these systems often depend on software, computers, endpoints, and networks—all of which must be secured for the safety of the system, the people operating it, and those it serves.
