Ooredoo will promote its next generation Security Operations Centre (SOC) services at the upcoming Information Security Conference for the Financial Sector, set to take place in Doha next week.
ICT security has risen on the corporate agenda after a series of high profile attacks in 2016, including a recent distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that slowed or knocked offline some of the world’s most high-profile websites this month. To help companies keep their services accessible and secure, Ooredoo has invested in the widest portfolio of security services available in Qatar. As a sponsor of the Information Security Conference for the Financial Sector, the company will strive to raise awareness of the range of cyber security solutions now available for companies.
The conference, which is in its third year, promotes dialogue around information security in Qatar, the ICT challenges facing financial institutions and the solutions available to tackle these challenges. The event is organised by Qatar Central Bank under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Abdulla Bin Saoud Al-Thani, Governor of Qatar Central Bank.
Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Cyber-attacks have become a major risk for financial institutions in the region and around the world. Ooredoo is investing in a range of solutions designed to provide the highest level of security and protection against a full range of threats. We look forward to profiling our next generation Security Operations Centre solution at the Information Security Conference and highlighting the range of monitoring and protection services it provides.”
Ooredoo’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) is at the heart of the company’s Managed Security Services approach, providing tailored security monitoring for enterprises and organisations across Qatar. The service enables companies to investigate business security incidents, perform incident response and forensics, and helps keep organisations operating even in the event of a data breach. Ooredoo also provides a Distributed Denial of Service Attack solution (DDoS) that monitors, analyses and protects network operations through two major lines of defence: a centralised DDoS mitigation platform and an application-layer security service.
Ooredoo has introduced many of the latest security technologies to Qatar, and its nationwide network of Ooredoo Data Centres are playing an important role in providing cloud and managed security services for critical national infrastructure. The Information Security Conference for the Financial Sector will take place at The Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel on 1 November 2016.
