Saudi Cybersecurity Authority Unveils Toolkit for Strengthening Digital Infrastructure
The Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority has launched a new set of cybersecurity tools to strengthen the country's digital defenses. This toolkit aims to increase cybersecurity efficiency within various sectors and addresses the growing threat landscape while advancing the Kingdom’s digital capabilities.
Comprising templates and guidelines to establish robust cybersecurity policies, the toolkit, provided in both Arabic and English, benefits government and private organizations alike.
Reflecting the authority's dedication to setting cybersecurity norms in Saudi Arabia, the toolkit addresses key concerns like malware, risk management, email, network, web applications, data security, user and mobile device security, industrial controls, social media, and virtual environments.
With the toolkit available on its website, the authority encourages widespread use to promote a more secure cyber space across the Kingdom.
The authority, as the national reference for cybersecurity, is focused on safeguarding regional interests, national security, and essential infrastructure.
Amidst rapid advancements in the country's cybersecurity framework, such as hosting the Global Cybersecurity Forum and launching a second cybersecurity accelerator program fostering industry growth and innovation, Saudi Arabia continues to emerge as a leading figure in global cybersecurity. This is evidenced by its second-place ranking in the Global Cybersecurity Index within the 2023 World Competitiveness Yearbook by the International Institute for Management Development.
