The National Cybersecurity Agency (NCSA) announces that Qatar has achieved a major accomplishment in the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) 2024, as it was classified as a "model" country at the international level in cybersecurity.
According to the index issued Friday by the International Telecommunication Union of the UN, Qatar was placed in this classification due to its excellence in the various pillars that represent cybersecurity obligations at the state level, namely: legal, technical, regulatory, capacity development, and co-operation.
Qatar obtained full scores in the five pillars, which reflects its strong commitment to enhancing cybersecurity at the local and international levels, as well as its leading role in developing effective cybersecurity strategies.
These results confirm the importance of the continuous efforts made by the State of Qatar in providing a safe digital environment and enhancing international cooperation in confronting increasing cyber threats.
The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI 2024) assesses national efforts through a new analysis that will contribute to a greater focus on each country's progress in terms of cybersecurity commitments and the resulting impacts.
The report places 46 countries in Tier 1, the highest of five levels, and is designated for "model" countries that demonstrate strong commitment to all five pillars of cybersecurity.
