Cybersecurity Readiness in Algeria: An Assessment of Infrastructure, Legislation, and Crisis Management

Summary/Abstract: This study offers a thorough examination of the leading international cybersecurity indicators, with particular emphasis on the National Cybersecurity Index (NCSI), in order to assess Algeria’s cybersecurity preparedness. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of Algeria's cybersecurity measures, identify strengths, and highlight areas requiring improvement to ensure the robust and comprehensive protection of the national cyber infrastructure. Moreover, the rise of cybercrimes as an extension of traditional crimes presents new challenges, as these offenses are increasingly diverse and leverage advanced technological tools. Computers and smartphones, which serve as the primary instruments for committing these crimes, pose significant threats to the digital infrastructure of countries worldwide, Algeria included. The study's findings reveal that while Algeria has made notable strides in areas such as international cooperation and personal data protection, it continues to face significant challenges in securing digital services and managing cybercrimes. To enhance overall cybersecurity, it is crucial to focus on strengthening the security infrastructure and developing effective strategies to safeguard vital services and defensive capabilities.
