Deputy National Guard minister opens mobile cybersecurity awareness exhibition

Deputy National Guard Minister Nasser Al-Daoud opened a mobile cybersecurity awareness exhibition, a joint initiative by the ministry and the National Cybersecurity Authority. The inauguration ceremony, attended by the authority's governor and several ministry officials, marked the beginning of a two-day event aimed at promoting national security and raising cybersecurity awareness.

Key objectives included fostering a cybersecurity culture among ministry personnel and reducing emerging cyber risks through collaborative efforts.

The exhibition featured six interactive pavilions, each designed to deepen understanding of cybersecurity concepts and their national significance. These pavilions utilized interactive methods to illustrate critical behaviors that can protect against cyber threats. In addition to educational displays, the event showcased advanced tools and technologies that bolster cybersecurity defenses.

Attendees also had the opportunity to engage in live simulations of major cyberattacks, providing a practical understanding of potential threats.

The ministry's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity capabilities was further highlighted by the launch of the Bawasel platform. This platform enables virtual simulations of real-world cyber threats, offering valuable insights into readiness assessment, capability sustainability, and skill development. Through these initiatives, the National Guard is actively contributing to the broader goal of strengthening cybersecurity defenses and promoting a culture of cybersecurity awareness among its personnel.
