Morocco’s cybersecurity market surpasses $1.2 billion

27 November 2025

Morocco’s cybersecurity industry has surpassed the $1.2 billion mark, driven by a sharp increase in cyber-attacks that is prompting government agencies, financial institutions, and businesses to bolster their defenses. A recent report by Ken Research highlights this surge, marking a pivotal moment in Morocco’s evolving cyber risk landscape.

The report reveals that cyber incidents in the country have climbed by 30% in 2024, with over 1,300 breaches recorded so far this year. This alarming trend has led to some of the most costly cyber disruptions in North Africa, including targeted ransomware attacks on private companies in Casablanca, sophisticated phishing schemes targeting financial institutions, and attempted intrusions on critical government systems in Rabat. Several affected organizations have reported damages amounting to millions of dollars, involving operational shutdowns, data breaches, and expensive system recoveries.
