2nd e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress in Qatar

7 JUNE, 2022 • The Westin Doha Hotel, Doha, Qatar

Securing the digital nation – and the World Cup

The Smart Qatar Program relies upon a collaborative ICT ecosystem: how to keep it, and the rest of the nation, secure?
 

All over the world, governments are trying to understand how to harness the power of technology and innovation to drive sustainable economic diversification while improving quality of life for citizens and enhancing the delivery of public services.

In Qatar, one expression of this digital globalisation is the TASMU Smart Qatar Program. It is an innovative cloud-based smart city solutions platform with world-class artificial intelligence, big data and cybersecurity capabilities, developed in conjunction with an international consortium led by Ooredoo. 

It is designed to be the backbone of Qatar’s digital infrastructure and performs three fundamental functions. It promotes communication between government entities, businesses and individuals across sectors to ensure collaborative efforts when developing smart solutions in Qatar.

It will provide the public and private sectors with advanced technologies that can be utilized to develop smart solutions and applications that meet national KPIs. It will store and analyze national data and develop key insights to support decision-making and resource management across all organizations in Qatar.
 

However, there is a price to pay for benefits of intelligent infrastructure. Increasing digitalisation and the expansion of the IoT have opened up the region’s companies and public sector entities to a much broader range of potential attackers. 


All of this new technology, data and connectivity must be made cybersecure at a time when attackers are becoming sophisticated. In addition, Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup will also make the country a target for disruptive attacks, focused on destabilising the event itself as well as impacting individual targets.


The country is well aware of the threat. The country’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy has hosted summits of cybersecurity experts from around the globe to explore the range of cyber threats faced by large sporting events. The Ministry of Transport and Communications has also launched its National Information Security Standards Framework, aimed at standardising the cyber security capabilities of software, systems and services provided by international suppliers.


And more broadly Qatar is at the forefront of regulatory initiatives in the region, including in 2019 when Qatar’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) became the first Middle Eastern civil aviation regulator to publish cybersecurity guidelines designed to help mitigate electronic threats and attacks on the nation’s aircraft operators, airports and air traffic control systems.
 

But there is much more to be done.

The e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress in Qatar will look at how accelerated digitalisation requires a new kind of security. Join our real-life case studies and in-depth technical sessions from the security and privacy teams at some of the world’s most admired brands.

  • Closing the cybersecurity skills gap

    • Increased regulation and a sharp rise in attacks and incidents mean security budgets are on the increase.
    • However, CISOs may find themselves struggling to buy the resource they need most: skilled cybersecurity staff
    • So, how are companies hiring and retaining talent? And which technologies can bridge the gaps?
  • From smart machines to smart cities - securing the IoT

    • How long will it be before every significant device and location is part of an ecosystem of sensors connected to public and private networks?
    • Driving apps tell insurers what premiums to charge. Packaging machines report their own breakdowns. 
    • But are these devices visible on your network and how are you securing them?
  • Are AI / ML solutions the answer?

    • If the practical realities of business nix conventional zero trust ideas, then what else?
    • Some say that AI and behavioural analysis are better suited to a world where perfect data
      and visibility are unavailable. But are they right?
    • And don’t these solutions only pick up problems after they have occurred?
  • Securing the citizen

    • The COVID era demands unprecendented levels of citizen engagement.
    • The systems required to provide safety create a huge data security and privacy challenge for both governments and employers.
    • Are compromises inevitable? Can solution providers help?
  • Zero trust, IAM and PAM

    • In retail as elsewhere, the disappearing perimeter creates a critical challenge.
    • Securing remote working, new networks and new infrastructure requires a rethink of identity and access management.
    • Is zero trust the way to go and what technologies and techniques are required to implement it?
  • Securing digital currencies and DLT

    • The move towards non-cash payment methods during the crisis has been extreme, and looks irreversible.
    • Many more governments are now looking at developing their own digital currencies.
    • How do we go about securing a world in which most - perhaps all - payments are digital?
    • And what about the blockchain?
