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 as part of the national cybersecurity awareness campaign.

The opening was attended by National Cybersecurity Authority Governor Majid bin Mohammed Al-Mazyed, along with several ministry officials and staff members.

The two-day exhibition aims to promote national security values, raise cybersecurity awareness, and build a cybersecurity culture among ministry personnel, contributing to reducing evolving cyber risks and enhancing cooperation between national entities in cybersecurity awareness.

The exhibition features six diverse pavilions designed to enrich the experience of ministry staff, presenting key cybersecurity concepts and their national importance, and highlighting best practices for protection against cyber threats through interactive methods.

The pavilions include modern tools and technologies to enhance cybersecurity, live simulations of major cyberattacks targeting individuals and organizations, and guidance on best workplace practices to mitigate risks in the cyber environment.

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