policy for cloud-
based future
he UAE’s Telecommunications
Regulatory Authority (TRA)
is working on cybersecurity
policy for a cloud-based future,
according to Eng Abdulrahman
Almarzouqi, Director of Cybersecurity,
TRA. “Everything will be moving to the
cloud, and so the security of the cloud
is very important,” said Almarzouqi,
speaking at the Gartner Security & Risk
Management Summit in Dubai.

Almarzouqi said that the TRA is working
on a comprehensive policy for cloud
security, including for public and
private use. Organisations are likely
to implement their cloud strategies
gradually, and Almarzouqi said private
companies could classify their data and
begin migrating to the cloud by moving
their least critical data first. As they gain
in cloud confidence, they could then
move more of their data to the cloud.
Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
enterprise information security and
risk management spending will total
US$1.7 billion in 2020, an increase of
10.7% from 2019, according to a recent
forecast by Gartner, Inc.
“The double-digit growth is a reflection
of how organisations in MENA region
are coming up to speed with their global
counterparts in adopting information
security and risk management solutions,”
said Sam Olyaei, Research Director at
Gartner. “More importantly, an evolving
threat landscape and the advent of
Digital Transformation is forcing local
security and risk leaders to re-evaluate
their spending priorities.”
