Awareness Campaigns and the Wa'i Certificate

A complete campaign that raises cybersecurity awareness across organizations, culminating in official accreditation through the Wa'i certificate.

The Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign

A campaign by the Center that builds a culture of cybersecurity awareness in government and private organizations, using a range of digital and printed tools that cover the whole workplace. Its elements are designed to be clear, concise and effective for a wide range of employees.

Close to three quarters of cyber incidents are linked to the human factor. Security systems alone are no longer enough, and raising the awareness of employees at every level is now a core part of protecting the organization.

  • Protecting the organization's reputation and cyber safety
  • Higher employee engagement and regulatory compliance
  • Lower risk of cyber incidents
  • Avoiding breach costs, which average SAR 16.31 million globally
