Abstract
Cyberspace has dramatically expanded due to technological advancement. Nowadays, cyberspace is part of daily life experiences and socio-economical activities. Countries all over the world need to have their own National Cybersecurity Strategies (NCSS) to be protected from cyber risks and threats. NCSS states the strength of a given country’s cybersecurity strength concerning the objectives, aims, vision, and cybersecurity mission of a country in question. Previously, many researchers have conducted studies on NCSS by contrasting the National Cybersecurity Strategy between different nations primarily for intercontinental teamwork and coordination of cybersecurity challenges globally. Purposefully, one of the main objectives is to evaluate and assess policy frameworks in various countries to combat the prevailing cyber threats. As a result, from the comparison of many policy frameworks on NCSS of many countries, it was discovered that more effort should put into National Cybersecurity of Saudi Arabia. This paper compares the cybersecurity strategy of Saudi Arabia with the NCSS of other fifteen countries such as the United States of America, Singapore, India, Japan, Malaysia, Kuwait, Canada, UK, China, Egypt, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Russia, Korea, and France. Saudi Arabia rank in cybersecurity has risen to be in the second rank in 2020. Compared to other developed countries, the results found that Saudi Arabia appears to be on the right track in ensuring the safety of its cyberspace.
