The Gulf Cybersecurity Forum 2026 is an interactive platform that brings together cybersecurity experts and technology decision-makers from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Its aim is to exchange experiences, discuss future digital challenges, and enhance regional cooperation in protecting cyberspace.
The forum is being held under the auspices of the University of Tabuk in Saudi Arabia, with the participation of leading academic, governmental, and private sector entities in cybersecurity. The focus is on building practical capabilities and developing digital skills. The format is similar to the "About the Forum" section currently available on the Qatari website, but adapted to the Saudi context.
