SCOPE The National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy applies to all information domains to achieve comprehensive information security in Jordan. Although the government is the developer of this strategy, a successful implementation requires collaboration among all involved parties: government, international partners, and the private sector. Efforts of involved parties must complement rather than conflict with each other. Strategies and policies developed by the private sector should augment, comply, and be consistent with this strategy. 3. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES 3.1. 3.2. 3.3. 3.4. 3.5.
