In the era of continuous technological advancements, the smart devices and bring-your-own device (BYOD) concepts are receiving high traction in MEA. The emergence of BYOD is triggering modifications in enterprise operations. Greater productivity, cost-savings, benefits, and convenience are among the benefits that are promoting the adoption of BYOD. However, this transformation is heading toward serious challenges related to IT privacy and security. Various Companies provides secure management solutions, including application control and encryption enforcement to lower risks and ensure organized transition at workplaces. BYOD lacking the integrated advanced security solutions are highly exposed to malicious mobile applications, phishing, attacks, and vulnerabilities. Nearly 50% of the enterprises have allowed their staff to access their network through BYOD devices, which also adds to the probability of data breach. Hence, to avoid such incidents, the demand for integrated security solutions is increasing as they prevent data loss, and ensure web filtering and application control. This would further boost the MEA application control market growth.
