It is important to note that the countries that have developed gradually and that have a large population is an attractive market for entrepreneurs who want to trade and bring modern ideas to this type of countries not being the traditional word, but their way of seeing things or the picture changes very slowly is also not easy to manipulate or persuade.

On the contrary, “India presents investors with some considerable risks in terms of its utilities infrastructure. Ageing electricity plants and transmission grids along with issues surrounding the adequate supply of coal, the primary power source in the country, create the risk of potentially costly supply disruptions. There are also considerable risks associated with access to safe and clean drinking water in the country. India's telecommunications network is also underdeveloped”. (India Country Risk Report, 2015, p.31).

It is noteworthy that always exists a negative side of shortage of public services due to the high amount of population in the countries and that in turn affects the trading companies since they can not carry out its activities efficiently, or on the other hand employers do not want to invest their capital or their businesses abroad because of the problems that poor countries have about the lack of adequate services and their proper functioning, but if nobody dares to make change, and not just people within the same country, but foreigners or the government to help and pass on their ideas or have the right plan or business strategy, they always be developing countries.

Interstate Security Risk

In Egypt, “The main risk stems from the ongoing civil conflict in Libya spilling over the border. Egypt is potentially the leader of the Arab world, its main rival being Saudi Arabia, which has a much smaller population but is much richer thanks to its oil reserves. Egypt is also geopolitically important because of its strategic location at the intersection of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This means that Egypt has the potential to be a major player in the politics of North Africa and the Nile basin, the eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Arabian Peninsula”. (Egypt Country Risk, 2015, p.34).

As we analyzed, Egypt has had a generally hands-off approach when it comes to regional conflicts in recent times. This result very much in favor of the country since remaining neutral will have many allies who in turn will help in any problems that arise, although its military capacity is very low and does not have enough nuclear weapons in given case that submit any war or high-risk problem, but as mentioned before, the fact remain neutral state favors its neighboring countries with a peaceful relationship with them.

As mentioned above, the slow development of technology affects equally the military sector because there is no handling or adequate knowledge on how to handle issues regarding cyber character or terrorists political affairs.

“Furthermore, India is a nuclear state, which strengthens its regional and global military power. India is an attractive country for cyber attackers due to its growing regional and global power status. Therefore, hackers will seek to exploit vulnerabilities in its infrastructure in order to glean sensitive information, bring systems offline, as well as disrupt and damage critical infrastructure. India has been subject to a number of cyber attacks at the hands of foreign governments and other entities due to flaws in its cyber defense capabilities”. (India Country Risk Report, 2015, p.39).

It can be seen that both Egypt and India maintain a low level in terms of cyber defense because of its growing status in the global development, which is used, by foreigners or hackers. This whole problem goes hand in hand with the lack of public services due to overpopulation, and that without overcrowding could pay more attention to promoting the development of technology, preserve and promote it.

Conclusions

This paper has made a comparative analysis between Egypt and India, making known their operational risks, market size and utilities and interstate security risks. It was possible to realize the similarities that these two countries share in terms of risk, this being very curious because the level or economic development of each varies greatly. Also, It was interesting to realize that technology, referring to cyber problems is related to military security, as it was not known about it.

In other hand, both countries have their positive aspects as we realized, it's just a matter of knowing how to manage and adequately exploit the resources with which everyone has benefited.
