The complexities of today ’ s digital ecosystem , technology stack , IT and OT convergence , and evolving threat landscape have made it difficult for CIOs and CISOs to tackle security challenges , even with recently scaled-up cyber defences . Tackling threats has become increasingly more complicated , time-consuming , and demands specialised , skilled , and certified cybersecurity professionals .

The cyber security skill gap is still one of the biggest problems organisations face today when trying to respond to everevolving , sophisticated cyber-attacks .
Even though regional cyber threat awareness is high , attacks are getting more sophisticated . New challenges are constantly emerging , and cybersecurity requirements are evolving together with these threats .
GBM was recognised as a Major Player for Managed Security Services in the GCC by IDC MarketScape Vendor Assessment for 2023 .
As defence technology strives to keep up with all these advances , the responses are often inadequate . The current ecosystem of cybersecurity solutions and skills might not be enough to combat these attacks . Next generation threats require next generation solutions , which is where CISOs need to start investing in MDR solutions that are powered by machine learning and orchestration to empower their teams .
By investing in a cybersecurity strategy that encompasses these risks and incorporates the new generation of cybersecurity technology , CISOs in the Middle East can put themselves in a solid position to protect their environments in the coming years and prevent them from descending into cyber chaos .
According to the GBM 2023 Security
Report , enterprise complexity is also increasing along with the attack surface , with further adoption of public cloud services , AI , ML , and rise of smart cities powered by IoT technologies .
