Hanandeh stressed that institutions must know the risk and impact of hacking and the importance of cybersecurity for countries, by providing backup infrastructures, in addition to developing and testing home-made protection systems, developing a plan to use them in case of emergency, conducting a periodic study to identify potential threat sources, employing cyber intelligence and turning its outputs into operational plans.
