The latest statistics from Intersec 2014 show that 68% of the 2014 attendees showed interest in Information Security Products, and according to the organisers, MENA Governments are planning to spend $316 million to boost national cyber defense.  It is quite possible that these governments and large-scale organisations are making some of these active protection purchase decisions at the Intersec event.

Being aware of security issues in the cyber world is important for all sectors. Cyber security is like road security it affects everyone.  Last year, losses due to cybercrime in the UAE totaled USD 420 million according to Symantec.
