The 2024 edition of the GCI features a new five-tier analysis, including Tier 1 – Role-modelling, Tier 2 – Advancing, Tier 3 – Establishing, Tier 4 – Evolving и Tier 5 – Building. This allows for a more precise measurement of accomplishments of countries in their cybersecurity commitments.

Kazakhstan secured 94.04 points out of a 100 possible and was placed among Tier 2 – Advancing countries, alongside China, Austria, Canada and Azerbaijan. The GCI 2024 report included 194 countries.
