National Cybersecurity Academy


Description

the National Cybersecurity Authority took the initiative to establish the National Cybersecurity Academy is an academy to provide the right training and education for cybersecurity professional and students in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Specialized national human resources are one of the most important factors for enhancing cybersecurity. International studies and reports have confirmed that all countries - including the leading countries in the fields of technology and engineering - are currently experiencing a clear shortage of specialized cadres in the field of cybersecurity and that the gap between supply and demand in human cadres in this field is increasing in the coming years, Which poses a huge challenge in this important area.
