Amman, May 23 (Petra) – The Executive Program Report for the Economic
Modernization Vision (EMV) 2026-2029 highlighted key achievements
during the first quarter of this year within the Future Services
component of the cybersecurity sector.

The report said 3 cybersecurity initiatives were implemented at the
national level.

According to the report, 6 institutions were enabled to implement the
Jordanian National Cybersecurity Framework. 3 cybersecurity training
camps were held and 2 national cybersecurity campaigns were launched.

The report also mentioned within the project to build and develop
sectoral response teams aimed at enhancing national preparedness for
responding to cyber incidents in vital sectors, tenders were issued

monitored.

For this purpose, agreements were concluded, and coordination with
international partners was strengthened.

These steps came under the project to encourage local strategic
partnerships and enhance Jordan’s regional and international role,
which contributed to raising national readiness and improving
Jordan’s ranking on the global cybersecurity index.

In this context, a number of initiatives were implemented, including
graduation of the ninth cohort from the “Cyber ​​Knights” camp,
implementation of several training and awareness sessions for
government employees, training school students on the “Capture the
Flag” challenges, launch of national awareness campaigns such as
“Cyber ​​Crescent” and “Digital Insight” to promote cybersecurity
awareness, and a workshop on security verification services aimed at
enhancing technical readiness.

Furthermore, international cooperation was strengthened by meeting
with the National Cybersecurity Agency in Qatar.

The report also confirmed, in an effort to develop the Kingdom’s
digital evidence infrastructure and enhance digital forensics
capabilities at the national level, work is underway to implement the
National Digital Evidence Laboratory Development Project.

This process involves preparing the laboratory’s tender documents and
completing the necessary procedures and approvals for this purpose.

To empower national institutions to implement the Jordanian National
Cybersecurity Framework and enhance their cybersecurity maturity, the
relevant Empowerment Project is underway.

This project aims to enable six national institutions (Greater Amman
Municipality, Jordan Phosphate Mines Company, the Accreditation and
Quality Assurance Commission, Umniah, Total Energies Jordan, and the
Ministry of Local Administration) to implement the Jordan National
Cybersecurity Framework.

It also aims to conduct training and awareness workshops at 3 levels
to strengthen institutional capacities, implementing business
modeling to support institutional transformation, applying the
OpenFair methodology for quantitative risk assessment, and developing
individualized roadmaps for each institution to raise their
cybersecurity maturity.

This process aims to enhance national cybersecurity awareness and
improve technical and human capabilities across various sectors, a
series of training and awareness initiatives have been implemented.

These initiatives include conducting national awareness workshops
that benefited over 4,000 participants, holding training sessions for
liaison officers of the “Wa’i” platform, conducting specialized
training courses, and strengthening partnerships with the public and
private sectors and local communities in the field of cybersecurity
awareness.

As part of strengthening national capabilities in early detection of
security vulnerabilities and raising the level of cyber protection,

prepared and the necessary approvals for its launch were completed,
in preparation for moving to the subsequent implementation phases.
