The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) is responsible for responding to cyber incidents targeting national entities, in addition to regulating and coordinating cybersecurity incident response efforts at the national level. These efforts aim to enhance the Kingdom’s overall incident response capabilities and reduce the impact of such incidents on national assets and critical infrastructure.
