• Cybersecurity Awareness

Cybersecurity awareness has become a strategic priority for nations and organizations due to its critical role in safeguarding national security, protecting vital interests, and driving economic development. Consequently, the responsibility of individuals to gain comprehensive awareness and sufficient knowledge of cyberthreats and prevention methods has grown significantly, forming a strong first line of defense against evolving and diverse threats. This awareness helps mitigate potential damage and reduce risks across the vast cyberspace. In this context, the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) of Saudi Arabia, established by Royal Order No. (6801), is responsible for developing and enforcing cybersecurity policies, governance frameworks, and standards, disseminating them to relevant parties, monitoring compliance, and keeping them updated. NCA leads national awareness efforts, defines strategic goals to strengthen cybersecurity knowledge, and coordinates national cybersecurity awareness efforts, including coordinating with government entities to ensure they create and implement internal awareness programs. It also supports government entities by organizing workshops, offering recommendations, and providing awareness toolkits. Moreover, NCA implements nationwide programs and campaigns aimed at all members of society, working to ensure a secure and trusted Saudi cyberspace that fosters growth and prosperity.
