RIYADH: The fifth edition of the Global Cybersecurity Forum is set to take place in Riyadh from Oct. 1–2 under the theme “Scaling Cohesive Advancement in Cyberspace.”
Held under the patronage of King Salman, the 2025 forum will gather global leaders, policymakers, industry experts, and international stakeholders to collaborate on key cybersecurity challenges and opportunities, according to the report.
This year’s edition aims to amplify the impact of the GCF community’s previous efforts by expanding the scope, scale, and effectiveness of global cyber initiatives.
The forum will center discussions around five key sub-themes: “Beyond the Inflection Point,” “Cyber Economics Redefined,” “Strengthening Cyber Inclusion,” “Behavioral Lens in Cyberspace,” and “Opportunities at the Cyber Horizon.”
These topics will guide dialogue on enhancing global cyber resilience, promoting economic and social prosperity, advancing inclusive and human-centered security frameworks, and leveraging behavioral insights and technological innovation to address emerging cyber threats.
Since its launch in 2020, the GCF has grown from an annual event into a global nonprofit organization focused on catalyzing social impact, supporting economic development, advancing research, and driving collaborative action in cyberspace.
