On this occasion, Ms. Dalal Alaqeedi, Assistant Director of the Cybersecurity Policy and Strategies Department at the Agency, said that the camp included intensive training during which participants received theoretical and practical training in basic and advanced areas of cybersecurity, including web basics, attack analysis, networks, systems, cyber defense, and ethical hacking. She added, "The camp focused on transforming theoretical knowledge into innovative practical solutions that respond to real-life digital challenges, which contributed to consolidating technical concepts and developing analytical thinking among participants." She emphasized the Agency's commitment, through the camp, to providing an integrated experience that encompasses practical and theoretical aspects, in addition to various recreational and interactive activities. These activities aim to enhance team spirit, revitalize energy, and provide a stimulating and safe learning environment. This contributed to creating an atmosphere of familiarity and cooperation among participants. In this regard, Mrs. Maryam Ali Al-Nusf Al-Buainain, Director of the Schools and Students Affairs Department at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, expressed her pride in the fruitful partnership with the National Cyber Security Agency in organizing the second edition of the Cyber Security Youth Summer Camp 2025.

The camp has contributed to raising students’ awareness of digital safety and the responsible use of the internet and social media platforms, while also offering high-quality training that aligns with their future aspirations and enhances their technical and leadership skills.” She also added: “We believe that building a digitally aware generation begins in the classroom. This partnership is a key step in that direction, and we look forward to further collaboration with national entities to broaden the impact of such initiatives across the country.” The camp also included a series of dialogue sessions featuring a group of cybersecurity and education experts, who shared their experiences and insights into digital protection.
