Who are we?

Modern technology has rapidly advanced and afforded paradigm-shifting benefits for civilians, organizations, and companies. Modern technology is also at the heart of Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 which sees prosperity built on a firm foundation of sustainability, competitiveness, and fairness. Seeking these benefits, computing systems have become embedded in all aspects of commerce, government, and society. The Kingdom of Bahrain recognizes the importance of enhancing the national information infrastructure and adapting to latest systems and technologies while prioritizing cybersecurity protection measures.

The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) was formed per decree 65 of 2020 endorsed by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for reorganizing the Ministry of Interior to establish the center to be the responsible entity of cybersecurity in the Kingdom. NCSC aims to provide a secure and trusted cyberspace protected from electronic threats and attacks by developing and overseeing the implementation of the national cybersecurity strategy which focuses on protecting the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), ensuring effective governance, raising cybersecurity awareness, sharing threat intelligence, responding to incidents, strengthening partnership and cooperations, and developing the workforce.
