The Exhibition

The global industrial cybersecurity market is set to grow at a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.8%, reaching USD 135.11 billion by 2029, driven by the rise in IoT adoption, automation, and the escalating threat of cyberattacks. Sectors like energy, manufacturing, and healthcare are particularly focused on strengthening their cybersecurity defenses to comply with tightening regulations and mitigate risks in an increasingly digital world.

In Oman, the cybersecurity market is projected to grow from USD 135.33 million in 2025 to USD 199.31 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 8.05%. Ranked 21st globally and 3rd in the Arab world on the Global Cybersecurity Index, Oman is rapidly emerging as a cybersecurity leader in the region, backed by significant investment in digital security infrastructure and innovation.

Aligned with Vision 2040, Oman is advancing its digital transformation with initiatives like the "Tahawul" regulatory framework, enacted by MTCIT in 2026. This framework ensures secure, compliant digital services across government entities. Central to this drive is the Hadatha Centre for Cybersecurity, fostering innovation and fortifying the nation’s digital resilience. To further its commitment, Oman will host the 25th CyberX Global Series and the 3rd Annual CyberX Summit & Awards on October 6th, 2026, in Muscat, bringing together global cybersecurity leaders to shape the future of digital security.
