The Government Will Implement A Cloud Strategy For E-government

"The authority has a vision to Kuwaitize the field of information security across all sectors of the country," said Salem Al-Othaina, Director of the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority.

According to a local Arabic daily, the program will begin as soon as the Supreme Committee for the Cybersecurity Strategy Program is approved. This vision is based on an integrated program that qualifies Kuwaitis in all sectors.

He noted that a security policy to protect sensitive national data from penetration or transfer abroad has been finalized and that it will soon be implemented in all state sectors.

In a government memorandum obtained by the daily, Al-Othaina said authorities recommend that the two committees formed by the Council of Ministers be responsible for updating all laws related to cybersecurity, including the cybercrime law, saying that "the cybersecurity strategy program will review all Kuwaiti legislation related to cybersecurity, to determine if they are compatible with current technological developments, and to propose new legislation to fill gaps."
