Experts review central IT monitoring systems
Bahrain’s central security system which protects and monitors operations on the government network was reviewed yesterday by top IT specialists and experts.
The initiative, during the 5th Cyber Hawks meeting, was in line with iGA’s efforts to enhance the security level of government infrastructure, systems and e-government services.
More than 90 IT specialists from governmental and semi-governmental organisations took part. The central security system works by collecting data, analysing and highlighting it for extraction, which can be used to identify and promptly deal with threats.
Participants reviewed security incidents and precautionary measures taken by iGA to address them. Discussions also focused on cloud computing security solutions and other solutions expecting implementation in 2020.
Speaking on the occasion, Shaikh Salman bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, the Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) Deputy Chief Executive, Operations & Governance, said cybersecurity is vital to achieving iGA’s strategic goal of creating a safe online environment.
