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.
