Protected Fundamental Rights and Values: By the implementation of the National Cyber Security Strategy, Kuwait aims to pursue effective cyber security policies, initiatives, precautions and tools, to combat e-crime, promote cyber security and privacy, and ensure the consistency with laws and regulations of the State of Kuwait. At the same time, the strategy preserves the fundamental rights, freedom and privacy of individuals and institutions. As an example, the absence of personal security in cyberspace greatly increases the possibility of personal data breach, therefore breaching the privacy of the individual. This requires presupposing actions and initiatives to promote the cyber security such as utilizing ICT systems, and apply policies to reserve privacy rights while using communication systems and safeguarding personal data and information security. Accordingly, the national cyber security strategy endeavours to balance between these two concepts, by considering both national and international legal requirements while protecting data, secure information, threat intelligence, privacy protection, monitoring and others while establishing cyber security policies and controls for information security and communication technologies. 28
