Cybersecurity vendor Kaspersky has announced that it has added Saudi Arabia to its ever-expanding worldwide network of offices. Operating in 200 countries and territories with 34 offices in more than 30 countries. The new office will be located in Riyadh.

Eugene Kaspersky, CEO, Kaspersky, said: “We are looking forward to opening a new office in Saudi Arabia. It is both a key market and international business hub in the Middle East region. Given the evolving nature of cyberthreats, this step will further contribute to ensuring that our local clients and partners have access to best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to protect their businesses and infrastructure. I am convinced that establishing a regional office will also underline our strong commitment in guiding, sharing our expertise with, and supporting the region in enhancing its cybersecurity resilience and sustainable growth.”
Mohamad Hashem, Country Manager, KSA and Bahrain, Kaspersky remarked: “Saudi Arabia continues to be a priority market for Kaspersky in the region. As the country moves forward in its innovation and digital-first agenda at great speed, there is a need for a strong cybersecurity posture. This can be achieved only if companies across all industries learn, understand, educate, adapt and invest in cybersecurity solutions with true potential. Our presence, commitment and focus on Saudi Arabia is on giving organisations in KSA the power, expertise, and knowledge to deliver on their promise to keep their customers and citizens protected.”
