QATAR NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY 6. MOVING FORWARD Qatar will revise the NCSS every four years, or as necessary, to make coordinated adjustments and refinements to account for national and international legal, operational, and technological developments. This review will seek to align Qatar’s cyber security vision with any new national-level strategy documentation (e.g., development strategies) and obtain input from stakeholders, as appropriate. As new, complex, and global cyber security challenges emerge and Qatar’s dependence on ICT increases, Qatar must be vigilant and continuously work in partnership to enhance its cyber security readiness and resilience in accordance with the NCSS. More than any other national-level document, the NCSS demonstrates Qatar’s commitment to protecting Qatar’s cyberspace for future generations. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank the members of the National Cyber Security Committee, chaired by Dr. Hessa Al-Jaber, Minister of Information and Communications Technology, for their active participation and contributions during the development of the NCSS.
