Saudi cybersecurity authority urges registration for sector activities

The National Cybersecurity Authority has emphasized the importance of all entities providing cybersecurity services, products, or solutions in Saudi Arabia registering with the authority, even for activities that do not require a license. Registration can be completed through the National Cybersecurity Services Portal, Haseen, at https://haseen.gov.sa.

In a statement on its official X account, the authority said this measure aims to strengthen efforts to develop and regulate the cybersecurity market and industry in the Kingdom. It also seeks to enable providers of cybersecurity services, products, and solutions to benefit from the sector’s promising opportunities and to meet the growing demand for such services across the government, private, and non-profit sectors.

The National Cybersecurity Authority is the competent body for cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia and serves as the national reference for related matters. Its mission is to enhance cybersecurity to protect the Kingdom’s vital interests and national security, safeguard critical infrastructure and priority sectors, and secure government services and activities. The authority is also responsible for fostering the growth of the cybersecurity sector, encouraging innovation and investment, and licensing activities and operations related to cybersecurity as determined by the authority.
