VODAFONE shared its global expertise in tackling cyberwarfare at the recent Qatar Central Bank (QCB) 3rd annual ‘Information Security Conference’ for the financial sector. This is also the second time Vodafone participates as a sponsor of the event.
Vodafone Qatar’s Director of Information Security Shaik Abdulkhader (pictured)delivered a presentation on Cyberwarfare and showcased Vodafone’s cyber security portfolio for both the consumer and enterprise segments such as its DDoS mitigation Service and Secure Device Management.
Vodafone’s Chief Business Officer Mahmud Awad said, “Cyberwarfare is the number 1 national security threat ahead of terrorism and espionage with cyber-attacks continuing to evolve in the region and show a continuation of extremely high volume of attacks posing a huge risk to organisations and governments.  Vodafone is committed to bringing our global expertise and leading edge technology to Qatar to help protect organisations and people whilst contributing to the development of a knowledge based economy.”
