A short film was presented at the beginning of the program, about the achievements and preparations of the Cybersecurity unit in the SCDL, security committee in the field of electronic security and its future plans to secure the World Cup 2022.
Major Mahmoud Salah pointed to the challenges we face today, specifically in cybersecurity that pose to take a number of decisions, including building a strong knowledge base to enhance security capabilities in Qatar within a specific period.
“We believe that the right way to build and strengthen these capabilities is the need to unify security plans and organize the course of action. In this regard comes the idea of preparing the cybersecurity framework for the World Cup, a plan based on rapid implementation and collaborative work with the stakeholders participating in the organisation of the tournament,” said Major Mahmoud Salah.
