Our Mission

Together, King Saud University and Northrop Grumman are working on ways to educate Saudi Arabia’s private and public sector on innovative technologies that have applicability in providing regional security and protection for the kingdom.

The National Symposium for Command and Control and Cyber Security will convene as a forum of discussion and opportunity for government and industry senior technologists, product engineers and students, to focus on game-changing cyber, C4ISR, unmanned platforms and health IT capabilities.

The goal is to create a hands-on environment to increase the human capital pipeline of students interested in learning about cutting-edge technologies that will ultimately enable rapid response to emerging threats in a dynamic and changing region.

We will accomplish our mission by:

• Appealing to a large, diverse audience of ages from professionals to novices, from technical enthusiasts to the merely curious.
• Provide cyber workshops that address the future challenges that the region will face in a world of increased connectivity.
• Involving the most dynamic leaders in business, technology, government, and education.
• Building a strong foundation between King Saud University and Northrop Grumman, resulting in increased communication between the technical and educational communities.
• Producing each demonstration at the highest level of quality, applying professional media and theatrical standards of excellence and technical sophistication.
• Offering stellar, multi-faceted demonstrations with high academic value and integrity of technical content.
• Spreading the message through powerful media partnerships and an effective communications strategy resulting in increased Saudi awareness of King Saud University’s activities in technology.
• Sustaining the NSC3 impact through year-round curriculum development and joint research programs.
