Deputy National Guard minister opens mobile cybersecurity awareness exhibition

Deputy Minister of the National Guard Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al-Daoud has inaugurated the mobile cybersecurity awareness exhibition, organized by the ministry in cooperation with the National Cybersecurity Authority. The event was attended by the authority's governor, Majid bin Mohammed Al-Mazyed, along with several ministry officials and staff, as part of the National Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign.

The two-day exhibition aims to promote the values of national security, raise cybersecurity awareness, and foster a cybersecurity culture among ministry personnel. It seeks to help reduce emerging cyber risks and strengthen collaboration between national entities in cybersecurity awareness efforts.

The exhibition features six interactive pavilions designed to enrich the experience of ministry staff. These pavilions present key cybersecurity concepts and highlight its national importance, focusing on behaviors that help protect against cyber threats through interactive methods. The exhibition also showcases modern tools and technologies that enhance cybersecurity, offers live simulations of major cyberattacks targeting individuals and organizations, and provides guidance on best practices in the workplace to minimize risks in cyberspace.

Separately, the ministry continues to advance its cybersecurity capabilities by launching the "Bawasel" platform for cyber exercises. This platform simulates real-world cyber threat scenarios in a virtual environment, enabling readiness assessment, capability sustainability, and skills development.
