Topic: Reducing the threat of cyber warfare

Cyber warfare refers to politically motivated conduction of damage and spying. It is a form of information warfare sometimes seen as similar to usual warfare although this similarity is notorious for both its accuracy and its political impulse. Cyber warfare is internet-based disagreement involving many things this attacks can immobilize official websites and networks, disrupt necessary services, steal or modify classified data, and interrupt financial systems. The most effective protection against cyber warfare attacks is securing information and networks. Security updates should be applied to all because any weak system can be used to carry out attacks. This problem is a threat for the entire world and needs to be stopped on time because this may cause many serious problems already mentioned before. SPECPOL is trying to reduce the amount of threats of this kind of warfare by implementing good security systems.

My delegation has not so much problems with this kind of issues since in Saudi Arabia they do not have so much experience in technology and in such advances for them to be able to hack or try to damage other countries by using this kind of warfare. Since in Saudi Arabia they still do not manage cell phones with Internet installed, these threats are not being so frequently and are easier to stop. Although my delegation is still being aware of this problems and has launched new cyber security regulations which make it obligatory for Internet cafes and any other public place where you have access to internet to install hidden cameras and forbid anyone under 18 years of age from visiting them and use their services. Saudi Arabia is still worried about these problems because in future may cause many serious threats for the entire world, and is trying to prevent any main threat that may be done to any country.

Since cyber warfare has become a big threat among the world, my delegation proposes to continue with some solutions named before such as implementing new rules for cyber stores and to manage the web pages that the person or a company is using in any internet, even though the internet is private or has a code. Also Saudi Arabia proposes to find a way for not using cyber warfare for having big problems among nations and to control the Internet uses the most efficient way possible. As my delegation already stated we are not having so much trouble with this issue but it is still open to help with anything needed for getting a solution to reduce the threats that cyber warfare can cause among the world relations.
