| Abstract | ||||
| This study aims to analyze the cybersecurity measures adopted in Egypt and assess their alignment with international standards by comparing Egypt's performance with key international indicators, such as the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI), the National Cybersecurity Index (NCSI), the National Cyber Power Index (NPCI), and the Network Readiness Index (NRI). The study adopted a comparative analytical approach to analyze indicator data and assess the gaps between Egypt's policies and global requirements. The study found that Egypt made significant progress by ranking among the top ten countries according to the GCI in 2024. However, the results revealed a considerable disparity between Egypt’s GCI ranking and other indicators, reflecting a gap between the adopted policies and the actual implementation of cybersecurity measures. The study also highlighted the need for additional indicators to accurately assess the effectiveness of Egypt’s cybersecurity application. Based on the findings, the study recommended the need to review and improve the actual implementation of current cybersecurity policies in Egypt, focusing on enhancing regional and international cooperation, developing technical infrastructure, and increasing investment in research and innovation. It also emphasized the importance of establishing strategic risk management plans and promoting awareness and capacity building to address the growing cybersecurity threats. | ||||
