Dubai eGovernment was declared the winner of the Network World Middle East’s award for the best network security project for the year 2010 during the grand ceremony held recently at Mina A’Salam Hotel, thereby adding a new honour to its list of achievements.
Commenting on the award, Ahmad Al Humaidan, Director-General, Dubai eGovernment said: “I congratulate the Infrastructure Management team for this award which is a result of continuous efforts that have been exerted in the field of network security projects. Dubai eGovernment has built a robust and secure Government Information Network, which has become the cornerstone of the electronic infrastructure of Dubai Government and the spinal column for connecting government and semi-government bodies at a high speed that ensures safe and cost-effective exchange of information and smooth integration for these bodies. It has also provided synergistic and shared services to the government bodies, these being the basic systems for effectively managing their internal resources, thereby enabling them to focus on discharging their direct tasks for the public and concentrate more on providing eServices to them.”
Meanwhile, Matar AlHumairi, Director of Infrastructure Management, Dubai eGovernment, who received the award said: “I am honoured to receive this award on behalf of Dubai eGovernment. The award mirrors the joint efforts that have been exerted by our dedicated team which has now been recognized for its excellence not only in Dubai but across the GCC and Arab world. Next year, God willing, we shall participate in other categories, since such prestigious awards allow us to internally recognize and reward other dedicated teams at Dubai eGovernment.”
AlHumairi added: “While I prefer not to disclose all details of Dubai eGovernment’s network security over the years, I reiterate that we have invested in state-of-the-art technology to ensure our network security. Most importantly, we have a dedicated security resource team and firmly established relationships with world-class security providers to ensure that our network is secure 24/7.
