Cybersecurity Conflict Between Saudi Arabia and Iran

Abstract

The cybersecurity conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia lacks comprehensive research on the evolving strategies and tools employed, despite its significant challenges and threats to regional stability and critical infrastructure. Therefore, this study aims to explore the nature of the cybersecurity conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia, offering valuable insights into the tactics, features, and complexities of their respective cyber operations. A secondary research approach is employed in examining the current study phenomenon, where data is comprehensively gathered from reputable sources, including academic journals, reports, and credible online databases. Through an empirical analysis of the collected data, the study gains valuable insights into the historical context, vital underlying factors, types of cyber-attacks, and more characteristics of the cyber operations in the Iran-Saudi Arabia cyber conflict. Through this exploration, the current study contributes to the broader field of cybersecurity, equipping policymakers and relevant stakeholders with valuable knowledge to effectively address and resolve ongoing cyber warfare.
