Reports
【Reflection】
At Expo 2025 Osaka, the Commissioner General of Algeria’s
Pavilion expressed appreciation to the Japanese government for
promoting openness, diversity, and intercultural exchange to
build a more resilient, sustainable world. The session focused
on the future of communities, mobility, and particularly cyber
security—an area Algeria is actively addressing through
national efforts involving Algeria Telecom and GZ Telecom.
Ben Abbas Ysef from Algeria Telecom opened the panel by
highlighting the growing risks of cyber threats in an
increasingly digital society where online services underpin
government, banking, business, and daily life. He stressed the
need to protect digital infrastructure against cyberattacks
that could disrupt services and compromise data.
The discussion introduced Algeria’s cyber security strategy,
“Safeguarding the Critical Sector in the Digital Age,” which
responds to the surge in cyber threats—over 70 million attacks
in 2024 alone. The growth of internet users, remote work, and
digitalization has heightened vulnerabilities. Algeria
currently ranks 70th globally in cyber security exposure.
The panel highlighted key elements of Algeria’s national
strategy: legal reforms, cyber defense initiatives, and the
“Digital Algeria 2025” project, which aims to expand internet
access and foster digital transformation while reinforcing
cyber security. The speakers called for continued investment
in technology, skills development, and international
cooperation to build a safer digital environment for both
citizens and businesses.
The discussion underscored Algeria’s determination to
implement a robust cyber security framework while engaging
with global partners to share knowledge and best practices.
Cyber security was presented as a shared responsibility vital
to protecting the nation’s digital economy and future
resilience.
