دور التشريعات الجزائية في حماية الأمن السيبراني بدول مجلس التعاون الخليجي

Abstract EN

The study aims to shed light on the most prominent criminal models facing the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and to determine the extent of the ability of their penal legislation (regulations) to confront and limit these crimes, and the need to enact new legislations.

Statement of the problem
The statement of the problem is summarized in the fact that the newly created cyber-crimes constitute a legislative and judicial challenge for any society because of the risks resulting therefrom.

Threats no longer depend on the power of arms only, but modern criminal means have appeared that depend on new and cross-border technologies.

Methodology of the Study:
The study relied on the critical analytical approach that seeks to describe, analyze, and diagnose the subject of the study from its various aspects and dimensions, with the aim of getting to a view of the definition of cybersecurity, data and information.

To further determine the adequacy of legislation along with its effectiveness on the ground and providing treatment.

As well as the comparative approach to show the aspects of agreement and differences amongst these legislations.

The addressing of this subject is limited to the scope of the GCC countries, which requires, in the first place, an understanding of the challenges facing these countries.

 
 
Study data:
The study is divided into three sections, the first of which is: the concept of cyber security, the second: the most prominent criminal models facing the GCC countries, and the third: legislative protection from cyber-crime in the GCC countries.

Results:
The research concluded with several results, most notably: Each of the GCC countries should establish a national center for cyber security to study cyber threats and their causes, develop plans to combat them, determine ways of national response.

In addition, to establish a Gulf center for cyber security that coordinates between the national centers.

Meanwhile, cyber security goes through two stages: the first: prevention of risks, and the second stage: treatment of the cyber-attack after penetration.

Recommendations:
Among the most prominent recommendations: The Gulf Cooperation Council must work to establish a cyber-intelligence authority to exchange intelligence information between the GCC countries and improve access to cyber threats.

An electronic platform must be created to receive reports of cyber-crimes, keeping pace with programs and applications for securing cyberspace on an ongoing basis.
