With a goal of preventing cyber-attacks and creating a safe environment, Qatar has been at the forefront of such efforts.
Qatar's Government Communications Office (GCO), further emphasized these efforts through its Qatari platform ‘Warning’ which employs advanced technology to detect cyber security threats to infrastructure systems.
According to the GCO, the platform was created as part of Qatar's efforts to prevent the spread of cyber-attacks. This platform demonstrates the future of cyber-security as it uses AI technologies, identifies and blocks phishing domains, detects malware software, and identifies malicious enterprise network traffic.
The platform 'Warning' is user-friendly and develops high-quality intelligence about existing and novel cyber-security threats. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the system detects phishing domains as soon as possible. An attacker's main method of distributing malicious content is through phishing domains in order to steal credentials, data, and assets from users.
'Warning' is also capable of detecting malware, which attackers use to compromise user accounts and take over their systems, and is also capable of detecting malicious enterprise network traffic. The technology allows for accurate detection of insider attacks by identifying normal versus abnormal traffic patterns.
As reported earlier this year, scientists at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), in partnership with Qatari stakeholders and Turkish partners, developed a cybersecurity platform named 'Warning' to predict and detect security threats against enterprises and critical infrastructure.
This platform is the result of a three-year partnership between QCRI, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, and Turkey’s TOBB University of Economics and Technology, Kadir Has University, and Interprobe, a cyber intelligence and cyber defense company.
