Summary:Security of data has always been a contested issue since the internet became the way of life. The internet and Web 2.0 followed by Web 3.0 have enabled many applications for the use of the citizens. E-government is one of them. Questions have always been raised about the security of data in E-government applications and services. Saudi Arabia is one of the developing countries when it comes to the internet-based services. This paper attempts to review the effectiveness of security policies when dealing with threats and vulnerabilities. We shall study these aspects in the context of Saudi Arabian E-government.
