OPSWAT Unveils New Office in Riyadh, Boosting Saudi Cybersecurity Commitment
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – April 4, 2023 – OPSWAT has officially opened its new office in Riyadh, marking a significant step in the company’s commitment to enhancing cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia. This strategic move aligns with the Kingdom’s ambitious digital transformation agenda as it strives to bolster critical infrastructure amid a rapidly evolving cyber landscape.
With the Saudi cybersecurity market projected to soar to an impressive SAR 38.25 billion by 2026, OPSWAT aims to solidify its presence in this flourishing sector. “Saudi Arabia has become a cornerstone of OPSWAT’s growth in the Middle East,” stated Sertan Selcuk, Vice President for the METAP & CIS Region. “This local office enables us to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and enhances our contributions to the Kingdom’s digital future.”
The newly established office is anticipated to serve as a pivotal hub for local customers. Regional Sales Director Amjad Quteifan emphasized the significance of this move, describing it as enabling OPSWAT to provide better services and respond more swiftly to emerging cyber threats.
The company has experienced remarkable growth in Saudi Arabia, achieving a four-fold increase in business year-on-year, making it the top contributor to OPSWAT’s portfolio in the MEA region. With demand surging for its Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology—designed to neutralize threats without compromising data integrity—this expansion comes at a crucial time.
Additionally, OPSWAT is focusing on local talent development through its Academy, offering certifications tailored to address the region’s unique cybersecurity challenges. This initiative complements OPSWAT’s global SAR 37.5 million scholarship program aimed at cultivating a skilled workforce of accredited cybersecurity experts in Saudi Arabia.
