Jordan's New Oil Sector: The Cyber Age of Hydrocarbon Security
Article from: OGEL 5 (2013), in Energy Security
Introduction
This paper will analyze to what extent the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan can serve as a proximate hub of ICT development specific to the cyber security needs of NOCs, taking into consideration Jordan's relative political stability and ICT growth, while also examining the domestic cyber security context that may surround Jordan itself. In addition, Jordan's domestic software development potential will be juxtaposed against the international software firms it currently hosts, taking into account the links such firms have with IOCs.
