Country Report
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia ranks first in Asia for Internet usage, with all 35 million in the country using the Internet, and ranks third in Asia for IPv6 adoption, behind India (70%) and Malaysia (64%). Its poor Transit Provider Diversity and peering efficiency though are impacting its overall resilience. From a security standpoint, its DNSSEC adoption ranks top three in Asia, its Top Level Domain, .sa, has deployed DNSSEC, and its RPKI coverage across IPv4 and IPv6 is fairly good. Areas that it needs to address are its overall RPKI Adoption which is well below the average for Asia and its Internet Freedom score.
