RIYADH: The fifth Global Cybersecurity Forum will be held from Oct. 1-2 in Riyadh under the theme “Scaling Cohesive Advancement in Cyberspace.”
To be held under the patronage of King Salman, the GCF 2025 will bring together global leaders, senior decision-makers, policymakers, industry experts and other international stakeholders for action-oriented collaboration around key challenges and opportunities in cyberspace.
This year’s forum aims to scale the cohesive advancements accomplished by the GCF community, elevating their scope, capacity, and impact to advance toward a more secure and resilient cyberspace for all, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
It will focus on five sub-themes: “Beyond the Inflection Point,” “Cyber Economics Redefined,” “Strengthening Cyber Inclusion,” “Behavioral Lens in Cyberspace,” and “Opportunities at the Cyber Horizon.”
Across the sub-themes, the GCF 2025 will advance dialogue toward building a secure and reliable cyberspace that supports economic growth, societal prosperity, individual security, and national stability.
Within this framework, it will address shared priorities such as fostering alignment in a rapidly evolving global landscape, advancing cyber economic cohesion to enable scalable growth and shared prosperity, strengthening collective action for a human-centered and inclusive cyberspace, leveraging behavioral insights to influence actions, counter manipulations, and foster safe cyber environments, and harnessing technological advancements to tackle fast-evolving challenges in cyberspace.
From its inception as an annual event in 2020, the GCF has evolved into a platform that works year-round to strengthen the safety and resilience of cyberspace.
Today, GCF is a global, non-profit organization that is accelerating progress on its objectives of catalyzing social impact, enabling economic prosperity, pushing knowledge boundaries, and advancing global, collaborative action.
