Unfortunately, Cyber Security trainings are limited to some areas in educational organizations, communities, or in some universities or other educational programs. Students tend to rely on self-education in this field rather than seek formal education and training programs that would provide them with the necessary tools to feed all the sectors that require such talent in Lebanon’s exposed industries. Lebanon and its institutions are exposed to threats and Cyber Crimes like any other country. Cyber Security in Lebanon is not properly structured at the nationwide level and lacks the cooperation and coordination between organizations in the public and private sectors and at the international level to secure its citizens’ basic needs for safety and privacy. Today, many Lebanese institutions provide online services to various clients, who thus become dependent on the Internet. However, Internet use is not secure, and users will always be exposed to attempts of Cyber Attacks. Although this risk cannot be eliminated completely, it can be significantly reduced by restricting the attack surface and mitigating the spread of attacks to a level that would allow society to continue to prosper and benefit from the huge opportunities that the digital technology offers. 1.1 What has been achieved In 2006, the Cybercrime Bureau of the Judicial Police of the Internal Security Forces was established. It was assigned the dual role of investigating complaints, Cyber Security breaches, and technology related crimes under the supervision of the Judicial Authorities, and of providing basic awareness to public and educational institutions on the latest Cyber Threats and Cyber Attacks. Other Security and Intelligence Services have worked extensively to strengthen their investigative capabilities in order to prevent threats to national security, including Cyber Attacks and Cyber Espionage. In 2010, the Lebanese Prime Minister established a National Commission, comprising representatives of major governmental and security agencies. The main function of this National Committee was to develop a national strategy for Cyber Security and fight against Cyber Crimes. Nine years following such a decision, the rapid growth and continuous evolution of the technology industry, Cyber Security approaches and best practices, and the proliferation of attack and defense techniques make this special and unique subject critical and more and more complicated to address. It is necessary to give shape to the National Cyber Security Strategy in order to define the effective actions to be taken by the above-mentioned National Commission.
