Like many other organizations, SABIC is also navigating through cybersecurity challenges arising out of geo-political conflicts, proliferation of malicious actors, and industrial espionage. Cybersecurity becomes increasingly important in this context, to ensure that the company’s manufacturing processes are not compromised, and our digital assets and data are safeguarded. SABIC’s reputation for strong cybersecurity practices has bolstered the confidence of its business partners to favor SABIC as a partner of choice.
SABIC’s crisis management teams are continuously improving their capability to be prepared to respond to cybersecurity threats targeting information assets, manufacturing plants, and operations. The cybersecurity assurance team conducts various exercises and tests to make sure SABIC systems are well protected. With the independent involvement of SABIC Internal Audit, audit coverage is maximized to enforce consistency of cybersecurity controls across the organization.
In 2023, SABIC retained the ISO/IEC 27001 cybersecurity certification for its global operations. SABIC has not recorded any cybersecurity breaches in 2023, and is taking continuous measures to uphold this standard in the years to come.
CREATING COMMUNITY AWARENESS ABOUT CYBERSECURITY
SABIC is sponsoring a nation-wide cybersecurity program (AAMN) in liaison with the National Cybersecurity Authority and Ministry of Education of Saudi Arabia. This program caters to a cross-section of society, encompassing the general public, educational institutions, universities, and schools. The program, inspired by Saudi Vision 2030 and in line with the National Cybersecurity Strategy, aims to create effective community awareness and participation to protect the Saudi cyber-space and digital economy. The program will hold exhibitions, seminars, and interactive multi-media sessions in 14 cities spread around Saudi Arabia.
