Today, the world is undergoing a number of revolutions and shifts in all areas, due to the significant revolution in information communication technology. The growth of trans connectivity in all spheres has given rise to a new domain for relations among people, communities and states: cyberspace. This space is characterized by very rapid development and great ambiguity, and the misuse of cyberspace has created an environment full of risks, threats, and conflicts, posing a serious threat to society and the state. Concepts of power, conflict, and war have changed and become linked to the nature of cyberspace. The emergence of cyber threats represents a new form of threat that relies on the use of modern digital technologies to achieve multiple objectives. Many actors have threatened the security of societies by spreading their ideas and values on social networks to reach as many individuals as possible, recruiting and teaching them how to use explosives, hacking websites, and other illegal criminal activities, infiltrating and spying on sensitive networks, and sending threatening messages to countries to coerce them. With the emergence of this cyber-threat to societal stability, countries including Iran and Saudi Arabia have hastened to establish civil and military bodies and institutions, enact legal legislation, and develop specific strategies to confront current and future cyber-threats to defend their security. Additionally, they are working at regional and international levels to create a safer cyberspace.
