Jordan — Cyber Threat Profile
Jordan's National Cybersecurity Center (NCSC) has successfully positioned the kingdom as a regional leader in cyber-resilience. The current strategy focuses on securing "Jordan Digital" transformation projects and protecting the vital banking sector. A cornerstone of the strategy is the "Cyber Shield" initiative, which provides real-time, automated threat intelligence to government entities. Jordan also hosts several regional cybersecurity academies to mitigate the Middle Eastern talent shortage. The government is currently updating its legal framework to address AI-driven deepfakes and synthetic identity fraud, ensuring the integrity of public discourse and the security of the nation's rapidly digitizing financial transactions.- National CERT/CSIRT: JoCERT
