Digital transformation is at the heart of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's ambitious Vision 2030 program as the nation looks to future-proof its economy and enhance people's lives.
The Kingdom is looking to diversify its economy and develop public service sectors, such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation and tourism.
Specifically, the range and sophistication of cyber attacks are likely to increase alongside the rapid development of infrastructure across the region.
Saudi Arabia has already made important regulatory steps in these areas, announcing Data Cybersecurity Controls, Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls and passing the Personal Data Protection Law, set to be enforced in September 2024.
As a trusted provider of cybersecurity services to customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Palo Alto Networks is committed to delivering and innovating the best technology and services to protect and enable the nation's digital future.
