Under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) will hold the Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF) in Riyadh on November 8-9, 2023, under the theme "Charting Shared Priorities in Cyberspace". This year's event will be held under the theme of 'Charting Shared Priorities in Cyberspace' and will build directly from the outcomes and insights of the successful 2022 GCF event, aiming to advance the global cyber community towards aligning on strategic priorities, expanding future opportunities, and deepening multi-stakeholder engagement. GCF 2023 seeks to expand dialogue on these diverse challenges and opportunities, advance knowledge generation, and steer collaborative efforts. The forum will be charting the shared priorities through five sub-themes: Cyberspace Amidst Polycrisis, Cyber Growth Unlocked, Across Cyber Divides, Inside Cyber Minds, and Emerging Cyber Horizons. The GCF, hosted by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), was launched in February 2020, during the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's G20 Presidency, as a global platform aiming to build a more resilient and better cyberspace for all. The platform emphasizes the importance of international collaboration among diverse stakeholders and nations to accomplish this goal. Registrations and the GCF 2023 program, announcing high-profile international speakers, will be made available in due course.
