The Cyber Next Summit & Awards 2025 is an important forum for bringing together cybersecurity specialists, policymakers, and business executives from the region and beyond. Moreover, cybersecurity has become a top priority as the Kingdom's sectors experience rapid digital transformation to safeguard data, protect vital infrastructure, and build confidence in its digital economy. Saudi Arabia's revolutionary path under Saudi Vision 2030 demonstrates a strong dedication to creating an ecosystem that is resilient, secure, and technologically advanced. In addition, the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), and the Digital Government Authority (DGA) all play significant roles in strengthening Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity landscape. At this pivotal point in Saudi Arabia's ambitious digital transformation journey, the Cyber Next Summit & Awards 2025 will occur. As the Kingdom's cybersecurity market seems to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%, from $3.5 billion in 2023 to $5.9 billion by 2028, Saudi Arabia is establishing itself as a leader in cybersecurity resilience. Besides, implementing its National Cybersecurity Strategy and reaching Maturity Level 5, which denotes the highest levels of enterprise-level cybersecurity readiness and resilience, has cost the government an astounding $2.5 billion. Participants will discuss innovative defence tactics, examine Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity developments, and work together to create a strong and safe digital future.
