MADINAH: Experts from around the world will on Tuesday gather in Saudi Arabia for a three-day meeting aimed at tackling cyberterrorism.

The Islamic University of Madinah will host the Cyberterrorism International Conference at which delegates will discuss ways to combat the issue.

University president, Prince Dr. Mamdouh bin Saud bin Thunayan, said the event sought to highlight the Kingdom’s efforts to fight digital attacks on computers and system networks.

He pointed out that the forum would also consider the latest threats and prevention methods and ongoing international efforts to deal with the problem.

Agenda items will include the impact of cyberterrorism on religions, the role of international treaties and laws, electronic financial crime and the related funding of terrorism, data security, the responsibilities of cultural and media organizations in confronting the issue, and Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the process.
