Qtel Business Solutions Team recently hosted a seminar on ‘information security threats’ for corporate clients.
The seminar, organised jointly by Qtel and Q-CERT, was attended by a number of Qtel’s key corporate customers including the Ministry of Awkaf, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, RasGas, Qatargas, Qatar Petroleum, QNB and Qatar Airways.
Those who attended the seminar received important facts on the information security threats they faced from Malware and Botnet.
Botnets are often used to propagate spam messages that can then be forwarded to many third parties.
Qtel executive director (business solutions) Khalid Abdulla al-Mansouri said, “Providing timely and important information to clients is a key priority for Qtel’s Business Solutions Team. We enjoy a very strong relationship with our corporate clients, and are delighted to share in Q-CERT’s expertise to provide this important information to our customers.”
Khalid al-Hashmi, director of Q-CERT said, “The goal of Q-CERT is to drive information security improvements in Qatar and support progress in the region. This seminar enabled us to convey our message to the heart of the critical infrastructure community.”
It is important that businesses are vigilant about the rise of malicious codes and spamming because more and more organisations around the world are blacklisting subscribers due to spam. This results in mail delivery problems and can have a direct effect on businesses. |
