The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) of Saudi Arabia introduced the Essential Cybersecurity Controls to strengthen the kingdom’s cybersecurity posture and guide organizations toward secure digital transformation. As entities across Saudi Arabia handle growing volumes of sensitive data and operate increasingly complex infrastructures, securing privileged access has become a critical requirement.
