Ammon News - The 13th Amman Security Colloquium (ASC) on Saturday concluded its activates, as participants stressed the importance of unifying Arab efforts in cybersecurity to ensure safety and security, especially for databases and nuclear reactors.

They called for unifying Arab efforts to address cybersecurity-related challenges and provide the necessary protection for private and sensitive data and information through the development of national strategies.

During the last day's sessions, which focused on nuclear energy, experts said that channeling Arab capabilities to invest in nuclear energy does not necessarily mean possessing nuclear weapons, highlighting that the strength and cohesion of Arab countries requires joint work in this regard.

Additionally, experts stated that advanced and accelerated technical data and the density of networking both increase the risks of cyber-attacks and the loss of privacy, noting the importance of creating clear-cut policies to resolve these issues, especially because information security affects the public and private sectors.

They pointed out that cybercrime affects individuals, institutions and countries, which requires leveraging technological capabilities, training human resources, and improving the ability to address cybersecurity issues to reduce the electronic risks threatening any state's economy and security.
