WALLIX, a European cybersecurity software vendor specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and a recognized European leader in Privileged Access Management (PAM), marks 10 years of sustained growth in the Middle East.
The region is a major contributor to the Group’s performance momentum. In 2025, WALLIX reported +37% growth in recurring revenue across EMEA (excluding France), driven in particular by approximately +40% growth in the Middle East and Africa. Against a backdrop of escalating cyber threats and increasing digital sovereignty requirements, WALLIX continues to strengthen its position as a strategic partner in protecting critical infrastructure across the region.
Established in the Middle East for over ten years, WALLIX has built a strong regional footprint supported by an experienced local team and a network of more than 40 certified partners covering all Gulf countries. The company also offers local hosting facilities, addressing the growing demand for in-country data residency within national jurisdictions. This footprint is built on a “Channel First” strategy, driven by high-value-added distributors such as Cloud Dubai and SCOPE Middle East, ensuring organizations across the region rapid access to WALLIX solutions, close customer support, and agile deployment capabilities at scale.
This local presence has translated into robust performance. The Middle East-Africa region is now WALLIX’s second-largest geographic area and the leading contributor within EMEA, with growth close to 40%. Several significant contracts have recently been secured in the Middle East, including projects to secure industrial OT environments across the utilities, healthcare, and construction sectors. These wins underscore WALLIX’s commercial momentum and its ability to address the security challenges of critical infrastructure throughout the region.
” The Middle East is not a region to conquer for WALLIX, it has been part of our story since the company’s early days, often in geographically extreme and fascinating environments. Our very first commercial customer came from the Gulf region, and for more than ten years, we have built enduring relationships here with teams, partners, and customers who trust us every day,” said Ahmed Bouzid, VP Sales Middle East Africa at WALLIX. ” Today, our priority is to support the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in securing both their IT and industrial OT environments with solutions that are simple, adaptable to local requirements, sovereign, and immediately operational. Solutions where architecture and customer data remain independent from sometimes intrusive extraterritorial regulations that may not be aligned with local contexts.”
