KUWAIT: Chief of the Kuwait National Cybersecurity Center Abeer Al-Awadhi affirmed on Tuesday that the first national cybersecurity drill was conducted to enhance real-life scenarios of advanced attacks to enhance analysis and response skills of digital governmental bodies.
In her opening speech during the simulation organized by the center, Al-Awadhi said that the exercise comes in accordance with the directives of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah to raise the readiness of national human capabilities and enhance the efficiency of government bodies.
