UAE Cyber Security Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 12.78% through 2030F
The increasing UAE Cyber Security market
is driven by shift toward zero trust architecture, integration of artificial
intelligence in cyber defense during the forecast period 2026-2030F.
According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Cyber Security Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, UAE Cyber Security Market was valued
at USD 0.62 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.29 Billion by 2030
with a CAGR of 12.78% during the forecast period. The UAE cybersecurity market
is experiencing a decisive shift from traditional perimeter-based models to
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). With the rise of hybrid work, cloud computing,
and mobile-first strategies, the concept of “trust but verify” has become
obsolete. In Zero Trust, all users, devices, and applications must be
continuously authenticated, regardless of location. UAE
enterprises—particularly in banking, telecom, and government—are increasingly
deploying micro-segmentation, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and least
privilege access policies. Over 65% of large organizations in the UAE have
adopted at least one Zero Trust component, with 45% planning full ZTA
implementation within two years. This trend is further supported by the
integration of Identity and Access Management (IAM), Secure Access Service Edge
(SASE), and endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms. As the threat
landscape evolves, Zero Trust is emerging as a strategic cybersecurity priority
for both public and private sectors, enabling more secure remote access and
reducing lateral threat movement.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly
transforming cybersecurity operations in the UAE by enabling faster, more
accurate threat detection and response. With cyberattacks becoming increasingly
sophisticated, manual detection and response are no longer viable at scale.
AI-powered tools are now used to analyze user behavior, identify anomalies, and
predict threats before they materialize. Over 70% of UAE-based enterprises are
exploring AI-based security solutions, particularly for use in Security Operations
Centers (SOCs), threat hunting, and incident response. Additionally, AI is
streamlining compliance processes by automating data classification, risk
scoring, and report generation. Telecom and financial sectors are among the top
adopters, using AI to manage fraud and secure cloud environments. Startups and
local MSSPs are also developing AI-driven platforms tailored for regional cyber
risks. As cybersecurity evolves from reactive defense to proactive prevention,
AI integration will continue to reshape the operational dynamics of UAE's cyber
landscape.

Based on security type, Endpoint
Security is the fastest growing segment in the UAE Cyber Security market during
the forecast period due to the rapid expansion of remote work, increasing
use of personal and mobile devices, and the widespread adoption of cloud-based
services. As businesses in the UAE embrace digital transformation, they face
growing threats from ransomware, malware, phishing, and zero-day attacks that
target endpoints—such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices—as the
weakest link in their security infrastructure. The shift toward hybrid work models
has significantly expanded the attack surface. Over 70% of UAE companies now
support remote or hybrid work, which has led to a surge in
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies. These devices often operate outside
traditional network perimeters, making centralized control and visibility more
difficult. As a result, organizations are increasingly investing in advanced
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), antivirus, and behavioral monitoring
tools to ensure comprehensive protection at the device level.
Moreover, sectors such as banking, healthcare,
education, and e-commerce—critical to the UAE economy—are heavily reliant on
endpoint devices for day-to-day operations. These sectors manage highly
sensitive data, increasing the stakes for potential breaches. Endpoint security
solutions provide real-time threat detection, automated remediation, and data
loss prevention (DLP), ensuring business continuity and regulatory compliance. Government
regulations, including the UAE Information Assurance Standards (IAS) and
National Electronic Security Authority (NESA) mandates, further emphasize the
need for endpoint protection across all sectors. Additionally, the growing
sophistication of cyberattacks—often leveraging AI and social
engineering—necessitates a shift from reactive to proactive endpoint security
measures. Vendors are responding with unified endpoint security platforms that
integrate AI, cloud-native capabilities, and threat intelligence. The growing
demand from enterprises of all sizes, combined with rising threat levels and
regulatory push, firmly positions endpoint security as the most dynamic and
fastest-growing segment in the UAE cybersecurity market.
Based on region, Dubai is the fastest
growing region in the UAE Cyber Security Market during the forecast period due to its
aggressive digital transformation agenda, expanding smart city infrastructure,
and status as a regional business and technology hub. The city’s strong push
toward digital government services, fintech innovation, and e-commerce has
significantly increased the demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions to
protect sensitive data and ensure service continuity. Dubai hosts several major
initiatives such as Smart Dubai, Dubai Internet City, and the Dubai Future
Foundation, all of which rely heavily on connected systems, data analytics, and
AI. These digital ecosystems require robust cybersecurity frameworks to manage
the rising complexity and threat exposure. Moreover, Dubai’s government
services have gone 100% paperless, driving up the need for secure cloud
platforms, encryption tools, and identity management systems.
The city’s private sector is equally dynamic. With
Dubai being home to a large concentration of regional headquarters,
multinational corporations, and financial institutions, organizations are
increasingly exposed to cyber threats such as phishing, ransomware, and
advanced persistent threats (APTs). As a result, demand is growing for
solutions like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Zero Trust
Architecture, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). Dubai’s positioning as
a global trade and tourism hub also adds complexity to its cybersecurity needs,
especially with millions of digital transactions and cross-border data flows
occurring daily. Furthermore, events like GISEC Global, held in Dubai annually,
attract global cybersecurity stakeholders, fostering innovation, partnerships,
and awareness in the region. The government’s proactive policies—such as the
establishment of the Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC)—and its push for
AI and digital economy growth continue to accelerate cybersecurity investments.
These factors, combined with a large enterprise base, tech-savvy population,
and strategic digital infrastructure projects, make Dubai the fastest-growing
region in the UAE cybersecurity market.
