Abstract: The countries that comprise the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC)—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—have become attractive cyber-attack targets thanks to their oil-fueled prosperity, liquid capital, and geopolitical and cultural positions. These cyber-threats and the GCC’s responses, resources, and capabilities have significant global implications. For example, the 2012 attacks on Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company, Aramco, had significant influence on the Pentagon’s decision to drastically expand its own cybersecurity (CS) force in the U.S. Cyber Command.
