Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s cybersecurity market is set to witness significant growth in the coming years, driven by rapid digitalisation, rising cyber threats, and the expanding adoption of cloud computing across industries.

Speaking to The Peninsula, analysts noted that increasing government focus on safeguarding critical infrastructure and strengthening regulatory frameworks is accelerating demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions.

As a developing economy with growing investments in advanced technologies, Qatar is prioritising the protection of its digital backbone, including power plants, oil and gas facilities, financial systems, and water treatment plants.

Central to this effort is the National Cyber Security Committee, which is spearheading the development of a comprehensive national cyber security strategy while coordinating efforts across public and private stakeholders.

“Qatar’s strategic investments in digital transformation, AI, and cybersecurity have positioned the country as a rising hub for global innovation," said Dhanya Thakkar, a regional cyber policy expert.
