Why Saudi Government Systems Were Unaffected by the Global Outage

🔆 The systems of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA | سدايا) and the Saudi government systems it hosts were unaffected by the global technical outage that occurred on Friday morning. This raises questions about Saudi Arabia’s ability to overcome such crises.

🔆 Robust System and Solid Infrastructure

SDAIA explained that its technical and governmental systems operate without interruption thanks to being built by highly qualified national cadres. These cadres ensure rapid transition between systems in the event of any technical failure.

🔆 Efficiency in Crisis Management

In a statement issued on Friday, Eng. Majid AlShahri, SDAIA’s official spokesperson, confirmed that from the first moment of the technical failure, the authority was monitoring its internal systems and the hosted governmental systems, and no disruption occurred.

🔆 Global Efforts and Continuous Collaboration

Al-Shahri noted that SDAIA teams work around the clock with relevant authorities to secure digital government services and ensure their uninterrupted operation. He added that the authority is establishing infrastructures with the latest computing technologies related to data and artificial intelligence, ensuring the quality and safety of the systems from any potential risks. This also enhances collaboration with partners worldwide to ensure a safe and open cyberspace.
