Egypt — Cyber Threat Profile
Egypt is entering the mid-phase of its National Cybersecurity Strategy (2023–2027), overseen by the Supreme Council for Cybersecurity. The 2026 focus is the full operationalization of the Personal Data Protection Law (No. 151) and the expansion of the EG-CERT's sectoral reach. Key initiatives include building a "cyber-aware" workforce through national training programs and securing the booming fintech sector. The government is also developing a comprehensive Cybersecurity Law to streamline incident reporting and mandate security audits for critical infrastructure. Egypt aims to position itself as a regional cybersecurity hub, leveraging its growing ICT sector to drive GDP through domestic security innovation.- National CERT/CSIRT: EG-CERT
