Book Description
In this decade, cyber security will become a market differentiator not only for products and companies but also for countries and regions. While the Internet allows attacks to come from anywhere on the globe, targeted attacks on Gulf states are more likely to be carried out by other states in the region or by non-state actors with regional grievances. As is true in North America, Europe and Asia, the Middle East has no shortage of organizations capable of carrying out offensive operations in cyberspace. There are numerous vulnerabilities on most networks that render countries susceptible to cyber attack. Many of these vulnerabilities are inherent in the underlying architecture of the network and the protocols that govern communication within them, and can be exploited in distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, or attacks on critical infrastructure and government and military networks. National reputations will be made and lost in cyberspace over the next decade. Countries that cannot assure continued access to the Internet will not be attractive places to invest, work, or live. The region’s economy is heavily reliant on oil and gas extraction and processing. Power generation, typically reliant on oil and gas for fuel, is also necessary for hydrocarbon extraction and processing to continue. If power generation were shutdown, the ability of the population to survive may be threatened owing to the heavy reliance on cooling systems during the summer months. Desalination also relies on electricity generation infrastructure and is often co-located alongside it. Therefore, the GCC countries should take steps to turn the GCC into a ‘safe and secure cyber zone.’ To move this agenda forward, a high-level steering committee should be formed with representatives of each member’s telecommunications regulatory authority, Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), national police, military, domain registrars, ISPs, and critical infrastructure operators. If properly staffed and funded, this effort could quickly begin to improve the security of the GCC in cyberspace, making the region a model for the rest of the world to follow
