Title Governmental Cybersecurity Efforts in the GCC and Yemen Series: National Cybersecurity Strategies
Description Governments play a pivotal role in shaping national responses to the growing importance of cybersecurity in an increasingly digitized world. Beyond establishing regulatory authorities, governments are instrumental in initiating and planning comprehensive national cybersecurity strategies, in collaboration with their cybersecurity regulatory authorities. This involves setting the vision, defining strategic objectives, coordinating efforts across public and private sectors to safeguard digital infrastructures and assets. Furthermore, regulatory authorities help implement these strategies by developing and enforcing the necessary legal and policy frameworks. Consequently, Arab Advisors Group released a series of reports that examine governmental cybersecurity efforts in the GCC and Yemen. The second report of the series, Governmental Cybersecurity Efforts in the GCC and Yemen Series: National Cybersecurity Strategies, which was released in April 2025, answers the below questions: • Which countries in the GCC and Yemen have established a national cybersecurity strategy? • Who are the designated cybersecurity regulatory authorities responsible for implementing and overseeing the national cybersecurity strategy in the GCC and Yemen? • What are the key pillars, strategic objectives, and sub-goals outlined in each national cybersecurity strategy? • What common themes and priorities emerge across the national cybersecurity strategies in the region? • Which sectors are identified as critical national infrastructure in the GCC and Yemen?
