Perhaps the most significant irony is that Jordan has continued its digital ambition amidst escalating threats; the Petra News Agency reported in March 2026, citing "Standard & Poor's," that it ranked third regionally in the number of war-related cyberattacks, while noting its ability to contain them. On October 14, 2026, the Crown Prince emphasized during his visit to the Ministry of Justice the necessity of continuing to automate its services and ensuring their readiness before launch. This approach can be read as an expression of confidence in the path of building national capabilities; for confronting risks requires possessing the tools of safe progress, and linking the expansion of digital services with data protection, service continuity, and citizen trust.
This path is supported by observable achievements; Jordan received 98.6 points out of 100 and was classified in the first tier in the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) for 2024. It also appeared third with a score of 95 in the National Cyber Security Index (NCSI), according to its ranking published for 2026. These results reflect progress in commitment to cybersecurity and building institutional capabilities, without implying absolute immunity from hacking. Hence, cyber diplomacy emerges as a tool to expand protection capabilities and employ international partnerships to support national readiness and secure the modernization process.
