RIYADH: Day one of the Global Cybersecurity Forum Annual Meeting concluded here with calls for governments and the private sector to secure critical infrastructure and build international agreements against mounting cybersecurity threats.
Macky Sall, the former president of Senegal, told Arab News at the GCF: “Cybersecurity is a global challenge. It ignores borders.
“So if you want to have global action and be positive, we should bring together countries, states and nations and the private sector who are leading the big platform, what we call Big Tech.”
“(The) Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with this initiative, launched in 2020, the Global Cybersecurity Forum, is showing the way, and the Kingdom invests a lot to fight terrorism and to develop capabilities,” he added.
Now in its fifth edition, the forum aims to continue strengthening the safety and resilience of cyberspace by advancing international collaboration.
