Kuwait City – The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense (MoD) has detailed a comprehensive roadmap as part of its 2025–2030 strategic vision, placing strong emphasis on cybersecurity as a cornerstone of national defense. The plan underscores Kuwait’s intent to modernize its digital infrastructure, forge international partnerships, and strengthen its military’s cyber resilience.
As part of the roadmap, the MoD is engaging with leading international defense and technology companies across the U.S., Europe, and Asia to explore collaborations in AI-driven cyber defense, secure cloud platforms, and threat intelligence systems. These partnerships are designed to bring advanced expertise into Kuwait while enabling long-term knowledge transfer and capacity building.
The roadmap identifies key priorities, including protecting national defense infrastructure, deploying real-time threat detection and response systems, expanding secure encrypted communications, and embedding cybersecurity into all military domains—from air and land to naval and space. It also highlights workforce development as a critical objective, with specialized training programs to build a new generation of Kuwaiti cyber defense professionals.
Oversight of the cybersecurity projects rests with senior MoD leadership, including the Minister of Defense, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, and the Head of the MoD’s Cybersecurity Directorate, alongside technical advisors tasked with designing and deploying secure digital platforms.
The initiative reflects Kuwait’s determination to integrate advanced technologies into its defense systems while reinforcing its position as a digitally resilient state capable of addressing modern security challenges.
