According to the report, 6 institutions were empowered to implement the Jordanian National Cybersecurity Framework. Additionally, 3 cyber bootcamps were held, and 2 national cybersecurity awareness campaigns were launched.
The report indicated that under the project to build and develop sectoral incident response teams—aimed at enhancing national readiness to respond to cyber incidents in vital sectors—tenders for the targeted sectors were issued and their evaluation processes monitored, alongside the completion of agreement signings and the strengthening of coordination with international partners.
In the context of implementing the project to encourage local strategic partnerships and bolster Jordan's regional and international role—thereby contributing to raising national readiness and improving Jordan's position on the Global Cybersecurity Index—a series of initiatives were executed. These included: graduating the ninth cohort of the "Cyber Nashama" bootcamp, conducting a number of training and awareness sessions for government employees, training school students for "Capture the Flag" challenges, and launching national awareness campaigns such as "Cyber Crescent" and "Digital Brief" to enhance cybersecurity awareness. Furthermore, a workshop on security verification services was held to elevate technical readiness, and international cooperation was strengthened through a meeting with the National Cybersecurity Agency in the State of Qatar.
The report confirmed that in an effort to develop the digital forensics infrastructure and enhance digital forensic analysis capabilities at the national level, work is underway to implement the national digital forensics laboratory development project by preparing the lab’s tender documents and completing the necessary procedures and approvals to launch the tender.
As part of empowering national institutions to apply the Jordanian National Cybersecurity Framework and raise their maturity level in managing cyber risks, the enablement project is currently being implemented as follows: empowering 6 national institutions to apply the National Cybersecurity Framework (Greater Amman Municipality, Jordan Phosphate Mines Company, Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutions, Utopic (Umniah), TotalEnergies Jordan, and the Ministry of Local Administration), conducting training and awareness workshops across three levels to enhance institutional capacities, applying business modeling to support institutional transformation, implementing the "Open FAIR" methodology to quantitatively calculate risks, and preparing tailored roadmaps for each institution to elevate their cybersecurity maturity level.
To enhance national cybersecurity awareness and upgrade technical and human capacities across various sectors, a set of training and awareness initiatives were carried out as follows: conducting national awareness workshops that benefited more than 4,000 participants, holding training sessions for liaison officers of the "Wa’ei" (Aware) platform, executing specialized training courses, and strengthening partnerships with the public and private sectors as well as the local community in the field of cyber awareness.
The report also showed that within the framework of enhancing national capabilities for the early detection of security vulnerabilities and raising the level of cyber protection, tender documents for the security vulnerability scanning system were prepared, and the necessary approvals to launch it were finalized in preparation for moving into the subsequent phases of execution.
