Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the most noble of prophets and messengers 

Moving from the increasing importance of cybersecurity in the digital transformation era, the Cybersecurity Administration seeks to provide a secure digital environment that ensures the protection of information and systems from increasing cybersecurity threats.

We believe that cybersecurity is not just a technical responsibility, but a culture that must be part of the behavior of every individual in the University. And in this regard, the Administration works to promote cybersecurity awareness, apply best practices and standards nationally and internationally, and respond effectively to security incidents.

And we ask God for us and for you success and goodness, ,
