Sultan Alshammari

Cyber Security Director

Sultan Alshammari is Cyber Security Director at the National Infrastructure Fund, established by the Kingdom to finance infrastructure projects and stimulate private sector participation through partnerships and credit instruments. His position sits at an unusual angle in this field: the fund does not operate industrial assets itself, but it finances water, power, transport and housing projects that will be built and operated for decades, so the cybersecurity requirements it writes into financing and qualification documents become a condition that precedes the existence of the asset. That is an indirect regulatory lever, and among the strongest for raising the maturity of an entire sector.
