Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Cloud adoption in the Middle East region has been has been fairly high with statistics indicating more than 70% of startup entities based in Dubai use cloud computing with the cloud services market estimated to cross Dhs 1 billion by the year 2020. Bahrain has adopted cloud first policy across both the public and private sectors making it the first country in the world to do so. According to Bahrain’s Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA), by mid-2020, the government spending on IT infrastructure is expected to fall by up to 90 percent as it looks to migrate all services to the cloud.
Industry reports suggest that by the year 2020, 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud. Affordability, efficiency, and scalability are considered as the key factors in migrating to cloud computing services. With all the benefits cloud migration offers, security remains the number one concern when organizations talk about cloud adoption and shifting workloads to the cloud.

With digital transformation in the rise and business models being reinvented, it has become imperative for organizations to beef up their security and invest in cutting-edge solutions to protect against cyberattacks, data breaches and software vulnerabilities.
