The rapid shift to remote work in 2020 has led to a shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals in the UAE.
But lucrative opportunities await those willing to take on larger roles, a new salary guide shows.
"The speed of digital transformation in the past 12 months is much more than the whole previous five years, and it's still accelerating," Tarek Kuzbari, regional director for Boston-based security company Cybereason, told
The National.
This digital boom has opened opportunities for criminals to continue using age-old tactics, such as ransomware, malware and email fraud, Mr Kuzbari said.
This has led to a run on demand for cybersecurity architects, managers and engineers to battle these threats.
