Muscat, Oman
Committed to prioritising cybersecurity practices to future-proof its network and the digital ecosystems of other entities in an increasingly interconnected world, Ooredoo supported the 4th edition of the Oman Cybersecurity Conference. The aim of the event was to discuss cybersecurity opportunities and concerns faced in a digital era, which is, of course, integral to the telecoms sector.

Titled ‘Defending the Digital World: The Cybersecurity Revolution in the Communications Sector’, the event was held under the patronage of His Excellency Shaikh Ghosn bin Hilal Al Alawi, Chairman of the State Financial & Administrative Audit Institution. Ooredoo’s Chief Technology and Information Officer, Dr. Ahmed Abdullah Al Abri, and the technology team, as well as other telco providers, took part in a simulation drill, focusing on withstanding a potential cyberattack in the future. Ooredoo also took place in insightful panel discussions, where their leading best practices were shared

Commenting on the conference, Dr. Ahmed said, “corporate and government entities need to protect themselves against the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks. Ooredoo is at the forefront of digital transformation, which includes investing in robust technological defenses. In doing so, we can minimise vulnerabilities and ensure we are ready to act if an actual cyberattack takes place. This secures the digital experience for customers and businesses countrywide, which is all part of our mindset around providing an unrivalled customer journey.”
