Abstract

The evolution of information systems has escalated significantly within the last decade as research unveils new concepts. The general orientation to provide solutions to complex problems continues to inspire innovation and new advancements. Cybersecurity is emerging as a critical factor for consideration within the resultant paradigm as information systems become significantly integrated. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of cybersecurity within the context of information systems. The paper examines some of the most consequential aspects of cybersecurity from the perspective of an e-government project in Saudi Arabia. A holistic system is proposed within the research framework to incorporate various scientific guidelines. The general orientation of this research is predicated on the aspiration to design and implement a complex and robust framework within which an e-government system can thrive within the Saudi Arabian context. A consideration of the physical environment within which the project will operate is also made, focusing on security. An evaluation of the cybersecurity environment in Saudi Arabia is reflective of significant advancements that have occurred in information system domains within the past few years.

Summary

Introduction

The implementation of e-government systems occurs within the complexity of such systems and requires extensive considerations around security [2]. The primary objective of implementing e-government systems for most countries is to enhance service delivery and align the technological evolution happening in the contemporary world [4]. Various variables, including accountability, transparency, and citizen participation, accompany the implementation of e-government systems [5]. The implementation of e-government systems is a comprehensive affair that requires the careful consideration of various security variables within cyberspace. There have been various advancements in the operationalization of the concept from its simple origins, with various countries adopting integrated systems to improve the way they deliver services to their citizens [6]. The use of e-government systems is essential as it improves delivery of services to citizens, businesses, and among government agencies [9]. This paper provides a comprehensive outlook on the functioning of e-government in Saudi Arabia to investigate security measures
