Improving Information Security in the State of Qatar
Q-CERT, Qatar's center for information security, was created by the Supreme Council for Information and Communications Technology (ictQATAR) to safeguard and improve the security of information and communications systems. Q-CERT works with government agencies, businesses, and the citizens of Qatar to address cyber security risks, protect sensitive information, and ensure the safety of our children on the Internet.
Protecting Children in Cyberspace Drawing Competition | ||
 |
One way for Q-CERT to increase information security awareness is to get schools involved in cyber safety. In a recent effort, Q-CERT held an art competition to reveal how well children understood online cyber threats. Five winning drawings were chosen from the large number of submissions, although all participants will receive a gift. All of the submissions are available in an online gallery; the five winning entries appear in the top row of the first page. |
