By 2026, Saudi Arabia hosts approximately 1.2 million websites powered by various CMS platforms, with WordPress leading the market. Despite growth, about 32% of these sites still run outdated CMS versions, exposing them to vulnerabilities. The number of security incidents linked to CMS vulnerabilities remains high, averaging 45 per month, underscoring the need for improved security measures.
Website builder adoption continues to rise, accounting for nearly half of all new websites. The increasing reliance on website builders correlates with a rise in cyber threats, prompting organizations to allocate around USD 120 million annually to enhance cybersecurity defenses. As digital transformation accelerates, ensuring CMS security becomes critical in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining trust.
