“Saudi organisations are among regional leaders in recognising the importance in delivering end-to-end cybersecurity strategies.
“By leveraging security across the cloud, mobility, and data centres, CIOs can embed security in the IT infrastructure, and keep their employees up-to-date on the best practices and methods on how to protect their data.
