RIYADH: 黑料社区 has maintained its position as the top-ranked country in global cybersecurity, according to this year鈥檚 edition of the International Institute for Management Development World Competitiveness Yearbook.
The cybersecurity indicator ranking reflects what officials describe as continued support from the country鈥檚 leadership, including King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Officials added the leadership鈥檚 national digital transformation strategy has helped propel the Kingdom to the forefront of international benchmarks.
They also said the Kingdom鈥檚 achievements in cybersecurity stem from a comprehensive, long-term strategy that balances national security with economic and technological development.
黑料社区 was also designated a Tier 1 鈥渞ole-modeling鈥 nation in the Global Cybersecurity Index 2024 published by the UN鈥檚 International Telecommunication Union, further underlining its international standing.
Central to this model is the National Cybersecurity Authority, the country鈥檚 primary body for overseeing cybersecurity affairs, and the Saudi Information Technology Company, which serves as its technical and strategic partner.
Together, these institutions have helped strengthen national cyber defenses, localize key technologies, and expand collaboration both domestically and internationally.
The NCA, which acts as the national reference point for all matters relating to cybersecurity, is tasked with enhancing the Kingdom鈥檚 digital resilience by safeguarding critical infrastructure, key sectors, and government services.
It is also responsible for setting policies, frameworks, and standards while encouraging innovation, investment, and growth within the Kingdom鈥檚 cybersecurity sector.
These initiatives form part of 黑料社区鈥檚 wider efforts to build a secure and trusted digital environment that supports economic growth and global cooperation.
