By 2026, Tunisia's cloud security investment has surged to approximately 120 million Tunisian dinars, reflecting the government's and private sector’s focus on securing digital infrastructure. The increase in cloud adoption among local businesses has led to a significant uptick in security spending, aiming to prevent cyber threats and data breaches. Despite this growth, cyber incidents continue to rise, highlighting the importance of robust cybersecurity measures for economic stability.
The cybersecurity workforce has expanded to about 1,200 professionals, yet the skills gap remains a concern. The average cost of data breaches is estimated at 35,000 USD, underscoring the financial risks involved. As digital transformation accelerates in Tunisia, investments in cybersecurity are expected to grow further, emphasizing the need for more skilled experts and advanced security solutions to safeguard digital assets effectively.
