Saudi Arabia Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems Market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 5.01% through 2030F

Increased Focus on Cloud-Based IDPS Solutions is one of the factors driving the Saudi Arabia Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems Market during the forecast period 2026-2030.

According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, Saudi Arabia Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) Market was valued at USD 174.23 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 235.72 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.01% through 2030. 

One notable trend in the Saudi Arabian IDPS market is the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and harder to detect using traditional methods, AI and ML-driven IDPS solutions have gained prominence for their ability to analyze vast datasets and identify anomalies in real-time. These technologies enable IDPS systems to recognize not only known attack patterns but also emerging threats that lack established signatures.

AI-powered IDPS leverages advanced algorithms to learn from historical network data and user behavior, creating baselines for normal operations. When deviations from these baselines are detected, the system can raise alerts or take automated actions, enhancing the speed and accuracy of threat detection. Such systems can rapidly identify and respond to zero-day attacks and APTs that may go unnoticed by rule-based approaches.

In the context of Saudi Arabia, where the cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, AI and ML are expected to play a crucial role in bolstering defenses. The Kingdom is actively investing in AI and machine learning research and development, positioning itself as a regional hub for technological innovation. This trend aligns with Saudi Vision 2030's focus on fostering innovation and digital transformation across various sectors.

The adoption of AI and ML in IDPS is expected to be more pronounced in critical infrastructure, financial institutions, and government entities where the stakes are high, and the need for advanced threat detection is paramount. The trend reflects Saudi Arabia's commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology to safeguard its digital infrastructure.

The services segment is the fastest-growing component in the Saudi Arabia Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) market, driven by the increasing complexity of cyber threats, growing digital transformation initiatives, and the critical need for specialized expertise. As organizations in Saudi Arabia expand their IT infrastructures, embrace cloud technologies, and adopt hybrid work environments, the demand for continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response services is rising significantly. Unlike standalone solutions, services provide ongoing support, customization, and adaptability, enabling enterprises to remain resilient against evolving cyber risks. Government initiatives under Vision 2030 are accelerating the digitalization of key sectors, including banking, healthcare, energy, and public services. This rapid digital expansion increases vulnerabilities, making professional cybersecurity services essential. Managed IDS/IPS services, in particular, are gaining traction as they allow organizations to outsource threat management to skilled providers, ensuring 24/7 monitoring without the burden of building in-house security teams. These services help businesses minimize downtime, reduce operational risks, and comply with strict regulatory frameworks such as the Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) guidelines.

Additionally, the shortage of cybersecurity talent in Saudi Arabia further boosts the reliance on service providers. Many enterprises lack the expertise to effectively configure, update, and manage IDS/IPS solutions. Service providers bridge this gap by offering tailored support, system integration, regular updates, and training programs, ensuring that IDS/IPS deployments deliver maximum protection. Moreover, with the growing adoption of cloud computing and IoT across industries, threats are becoming more sophisticated and distributed. This dynamic environment requires not just tools but expert-driven services to proactively mitigate risks. Consequently, the service segment is experiencing robust growth, positioning itself as a critical enabler of cybersecurity resilience in Saudi Arabia’s evolving IDS/IPS market.

The Eastern Province is emerging as the fastest-growing region in the Saudi Arabia Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) market, primarily due to its strategic economic importance and concentration of critical industries. As the hub of the Kingdom’s oil, gas, and petrochemical sector, the region is home to major companies such as Saudi Aramco and SABIC, whose vast digital infrastructure and operational technology (OT) environments require advanced cybersecurity measures. The increasing adoption of IDS/IPS solutions is driven by the need to safeguard industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA networks, and corporate IT systems against targeted cyberattacks that could disrupt energy production and national security. Additionally, the Eastern Province is witnessing significant investment in smart city initiatives, infrastructure modernization, and digital transformation projects. As these developments expand the use of cloud computing, IoT, and connected devices, the attack surface is growing, thereby accelerating demand for robust intrusion detection and prevention services. Government efforts to diversify the economy under Vision 2030 also encourage businesses in the region to adopt advanced cybersecurity frameworks to remain compliant with national cybersecurity regulations set by the Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA).

The region’s geographic and economic significance further fuels growth. Hosting critical ports, logistics hubs, and industrial zones, the Eastern Province faces heightened risks from both cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors. To mitigate these risks, enterprises and government agencies are increasingly turning to IDS/IPS solutions integrated with AI and real-time analytics to ensure proactive defense. Moreover, the rising presence of managed security service providers (MSSPs) and global technology vendors in the region is making advanced IDS/IPS deployments more accessible. As organizations prioritize business continuity, data protection, and compliance, the Eastern Province is rapidly becoming the focal point for cybersecurity investments, establishing itself as the fastest-growing region in Saudi Arabia’s IDS/IPS market.
