The Global Cybersecurity Forum (GCF) 2023, under the theme 'Charting Shared Priorities in Cyberspace,' has commenced today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This year's forum aims to foster collaboration and strategic alignment within the global cybercommunity. Hosted by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) since its inception in 2020 during the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's G20 Presidency, GCF 2023 emphasises international collaboration to create a resilient and secure cyberspace for all.

The event will be organised around five key sub-themes:

1. Cyberspace Amidst Polycrisis: Advancing collective action for cyber stability.
2. Cyber Growth Unlocked: Harnessing markets, incentives, and global public cyber goods.
3. Across Cyber Divides: Building a human-centred and inclusive cyberspace.
4. Inside Cyber Minds: Exploring behavioural levers and motivations in cyberspace.
5. Emerging Cyber Horizons: Maximizing the benefits of paradigm-shifting technologies.
