Saudi Arabia’s Cybersecurity Recognized as 2nd Best Globally




kingdom of Saudi Arabia has secured second place in the global Cybersecurity
Index in the World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) for 2023 by the Swiss-based
International Institute for Management Development (IMD). Saudi Arabia also
ranked 17th overall in 2023 – jumping by seven places from 2022 – in the overall
competitiveness ranking.With Saudi Arabia frequently ranking among the top
economies in the world for cybersecurity, the latest recognition by IIMD is a
testament to the efforts of entities like the National Cybersecurity Authority
(NCA), one of Saudi Arabia’s key national security enablers. Saudi Arabia has
cemented its leadership position through several initiatives to build a sound
and sustainable cybersecurity ecosystem in the Kingdom. The International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) has also designated the Kingdom as a global
leader in cybersecurity, ranking Saudi Arabia second on its Global Cyber
Security Index.  NCA is the primary national authority for cyber concerns in the
Kingdom. It works to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s cyberspace, enabling it to
protect national security and vital state interests. The Authority defends the
Kingdom’s critical infrastructure, priority economic sectors, and government
services and activities from cyber threats. NCA sets the necessary standards for
licensing the import, export, and use of hardware and software in terms of
cybersecurity, while ensuring compliance with these standards.  NCA’s work
contributes to the creation of a secure and thriving economy that guarantees the
prosperity of Saudi Arabia, and its people.



The National Cybersecurity Authority continues its efforts to build an ecosystem
for examining and evaluating hardware and software from a cybersecurity
perspective




The National Cybersecurity Authority continues its efforts to build a national
ecosystem for examining and evaluating products from a cybersecurity perspective
at the national level. The objective of this initiative is to enhance
cybersecurity in the Kingdom to create a safe cyber environment that supports
the growth of all sectors. As an extension of these efforts, NCA is working on a
project to develop procedures and requirements for examining and evaluating
hardware and software in terms of cyber threats. This project conducts
independent verification and validation (IV&V) tests in an accurate manner to
assess the exposure of hardware and software to cyber risks. In addition, the
project aims to identify and classify devices and software that are highly
sensitive to cyber risks and threats. It also seeks to contribute to the
development of human capacities in independent cyber authentication and
verification, while enabling the national industry to provide independent cyber
authentication and verification of hardware and software. This would include
capacity building for authentication and cyber verification laboratories and.
With the cooperation with Saudi Information technology Company (SITE) NCA is the
national reference for cybersecurity in the Kingdom. NCA aims to strengthen
Saudi Arabia’s cyberspace, enabling it to protect national security and vital
state interests. NCA defends the Kingdom’s critical infrastructure, priority
economic sectors, and government services and activities from cyber threats.
Similarly, NCA sets the necessary standards for clearance of the import, export,
and use of hardware and software in terms of cybersecurity, while ensuring
compliance with these standards.

Global Cybersecurity Forum in November 2023

Abdulaziz Al Saud, the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) will hold the
Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF) in Riyadh on November 8-9, 2023, under the
theme “Charting Shared Priorities in Cyberspace”. This year’s event will be held

directly from the outcomes and insights of the successful 2022 GCF event, aiming
to advance the global cyber community towards aligning on strategic priorities,
expanding future opportunities, and deepening multi-stakeholder engagement.  GCF
2023 seeks to expand dialogue on these diverse challenges and opportunities,
advance knowledge generation, and steer collaborative efforts. The forum will be
charting the shared priorities through five sub-themes: Cyberspace Amidst
Polycrisis, Cyber Growth Unlocked, Across Cyber Divides Inside Cyber Minds, and
Emerging Cyber Horizons The GCF, hosted by the National Cybersecurity Authority
(NCA), was launched in February 2020, during the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s G20
Presidency, as a global platform aiming to build a more resilient and better
cyberspace for all. The platform emphasizes the importance of international
collaboration among diverse stakeholders and nations to accomplish this goal.
