Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arena. Al-Yaum newspaper reported in its editorial that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made unprecedented progress in the field of cybersecurity. Saudi Arabia ranked second globally in the cybersecurity index within the World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) for 2022 published by the Switzerland-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD), which is considered one of the most comprehensive reports in the world that seeks to analyze and rank the capabilities of countries to create an empowering and stimulus environment for competitiveness, maintaining and developing it, the paper said. The National Cybersecurity Authority noted that this achievement is the result of support and empowerment efforts of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and HRH Crown Prince, for the cybersecurity sector, which gave it a strong boost on the way towards global entrepreneurship in light of the Saudi Vision 2030, and a representation of the excellence of the "Saudi model in cybersecurity" at the global level and its continuation of realizing qualitative leaps on international digital indexes, where it is considered a leading role model internationally, the paper added.
