Preamble At its creation, the Internet was intended as a tool to be put at the service of humanity within the framework of a freely accessible platform for the universal sharing of information and knowledge, outside the confines of traditional geographical boundaries. If this goal has been achieved, it must be recognized that the evolution in digital technologies has also increased the risks associated with this space. Cyber Space is indeed a virtual space for the expression of power and strength, for cultural, political, military, and economic tensions. As such, it is constantly evolving in the construction of current international relations. Today, our daily lives, our social interactions, and our economies depend on the reliability, transparency, and security of information and communication technologies. However, it turns out that Lebanon, like all other States, faces many threats in Cyber Space (Cyber Crime, espionage, sabotage, blackmail or fraudulent or excessive use of personal data), which undermines trust and security in Cyber Space. In this context, the primary responsibility of the Lebanese State is therefore to provide Cyber Security solutions to current and future challenges, and to create an open and free Cyber Space, respectful of democracy while it is protected, to bring security to the public sector, the private sector, and citizens. From this observation arose the necessity to create, in 2018, a National Committee with the objective to set up a National Cyber Security Strategy. The Strategy we present here is the result of this intensive collective work and is the cornerstone of the national security of our society, which will inevitably become ever more digitalized, and must therefore serve the common good of all actors in the Lebanese society. It is a bold and ambitious approach that Lebanon has set for itself. The objectives of this approach are to regulate Lebanon’s Cyber Space, to position the human element at the center of its responsibilities, to go through the awareness of building a national collective effort on home front, and to reach a stronger cooperation at the international level.
