The Impact of Cybersecurity Through Knowledge Sharing Practices: Limitations, Analysis of Current Trends and Future Research Directions
Research examines Saudi Arabian cyber security knowledge-sharing programs during its digital transformation under Vision 2030 through a combination of literature reviews and expert specialist insights to analyze current cybersecurity professional information transfer systems. This analysis shows how technological developments along with organizational and cultural elements impact these practices since the constant drive for innovation aims to enhance knowledge transfer so researchers discovered that cultural obstacles from resistance to openness, lack of trust and hierarchical structures and division within organizations and insufficient workflow systems along with worry about trust and outdated technological capabilities limit successful knowledge sharing. Through analysis of knowledge-sharing programs established by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) Saudi Aramco and the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), researchers show that strategic programs improve national cybersecurity readiness effectiveness. The research provides actionable advice that combines the design of a national security plan and secure technology funding with does-based mentorship initiatives across sectors and integrated incident reporting along with educational programs and performance-driven reward systems for motivation. The research offers combined theory and practice-oriented guidance that helps Saudi Arabia’s policymakers along with organizations and cybersecurity practitioners to build effective strategies as they establish their leadership position in collaborative cybersecurity practices internationally.
