The CEO of NEOM, Eng. Nazmi Al-Nasr, confirmed that more than 30,000 employees in NEOM are subject to a strict information and data security strategy, based on the paramount importance of cybersecurity.

During his participation in a session entitled "Securing Infrastructure and Vitality" within the sessions of the Global Cybersecurity Forum, organized by Saudi Arabia’s National Cybersecurity Authority, Al-Nasr spoke about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on cybersecurity and the dangerous threats to information systems facing societies.

He noted the aspiration of the NEOM community to be a safe society against all cyber attacks, and its quest to attract everything that contributes to the protection of information security, and to build a comprehensive and advanced structural system that keeps pace with the aspirations of the city of NEOM and its reliance on artificial intelligence.

Al-Nasr called for developing new and innovative ways to confront cyber attack escalations, and discover weaknesses and address them quickly.

NEOM is constantly looking forward to everything that enhances the protection against cyber attacks, he said.

"All of this is done according to global technical standards and indicators in addressing cyber attacks that threaten systems and information that are in the service of societies", he said.

Al-Nasr stressed the importance of the international community standing firmly against all cyber attacks and work to develop information systems on an ongoing basis, noting the infrastructure of the Kingdom, which has made great progress in the field of cybersecurity.

Oman Warns of Escalation Risk, Qatar Pushes to Revive Talks

Oman warned on Wednesday against the growing military escalation between Israel and Iran and stepped up its diplomatic efforts to shield the region from the risk of a broader conflict.

Qatar, also intensifying its mediation, said it was working with regional and international partners to end the Israeli-Iranian confrontation. This came as Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani received a written message from Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.

According to the Qatari state news agency, the letter focused on bilateral relations and ways to enhance them.

On Tuesday, Majed Al Ansari, spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs and advisor to the Prime Minister, said Doha was in constant contact with friends and partners in and outside the region to help end the escalating conflict.

“Qatar is engaging all parties to narrow differences and reach a scenario that puts an end to this dangerous escalation,” he said.

Al Ansari added that Qatar was working closely with regional and international actors to revive negotiations and de-escalate tensions to prevent the region from sliding into a potentially devastating war.

He said the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister had spoken with several international officials in recent days, voicing strong condemnation of Israel’s repeated violations and attacks, which he said undermine efforts to achieve peace.

Al Ansari stressed the urgent need for collective regional and global action to reduce tensions and resolve disputes through diplomacy.

In Muscat, the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi held talks with his Arab counterparts and key international partners, including EU foreign policy chief and European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas.

According to Omani sources, the discussions focused on tackling rising regional tensions triggered by Israel’s pre-emptive strikes on Iran and Tehran’s subsequent response, part of a broader crisis that has been intensifying since early Friday.

The talks also addressed the need to align international positions, increase political and legal pressure to halt Israeli attacks, and push for comprehensive negotiations aimed at restoring stability and averting further military escalation.

Al Busaidi urged an immediate end to what he called a “tragic war threatening regional security” and called for heightened diplomatic pressure to revive a political solution.
