Egypt emerging as regional cybersecurity powerhouse

“Egypt is a high-growth market with huge potential for companies like Gigamon,” the CEO said.

He noted that the company already works closely with leading banks, government institutions, and service providers in the country.

“It’s a big market, an emerging powerhouse for the Middle East, and naturally a great place for us to operate,” he said.

Gigamon is a US-based cybersecurity solutions provider specializing in deep observability, enabling organizations to secure and manage hybrid cloud infrastructure. Its platform delivers network-derived telemetry to cloud, security, and monitoring tools.

The company works with more than 4,000 customers worldwide, including over 80 percent of Fortune 100 firms and nine of the world’s 10 largest mobile network providers, as well as government bodies and academic institutions.

Egypt targets increasing the share of AI in GDP to 7.7 percent by 2030.

The country also launched the second edition of its AI Strategy through 2030 that aims to accelerate the development of Digital Egypt, drive social and economic progress, and position Egypt as a regional leader in AI within Africa and the Arab world.
