Saudi Stays On Top As The Global Cybersecurity Champion Of 2025!

Saudi Arabia is holding tight to its cybersecurity crown in 2025, topping the global charts once again according to the latest World Competitiveness Yearbook by the International Institute for Management Development. That’s right, the Kingdom is officially a cyber fortress, and the world is taking note.

So, what’s the secret behind Saudi’s digital dominance?

According to officials, it’s all thanks to consistent leadership support from King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who’ve placed national digital transformation at the heart of the Kingdom’s progress. This isn’t just a lucky streak,  it’s the result of a carefully crafted long-term strategy. The Kingdom has managed to strike the perfect balance between protecting national security and pushing for technological and economic growth.

And that’s not all…

The UN’s International Telecommunication Union gave Saudi Arabia a Tier 1 “role-modeling” title in its 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index!

Behind the scenes, two key players are making major waves: the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) and the Saudi Information Technology Company (SITE). Together, they’ve been leveling up national defenses, investing in homegrown technologies, and building bridges with global partners. From setting policies and frameworks to protecting critical infrastructure and boosting digital resilience, the NCA is the Kingdom’s cybersecurity command center. It’s also championing innovation, encouraging investment, and growing the cybersecurity industry right here at home. At the core of all these moves? A bold vision to create a secure, thriving digital ecosystem that fuels economic success and earns global trust.

Saudi Arabia isn’t just participating in the digital future…it’s leading it!!!
