KUWAIT CITY, April 2: The government is actively working to develop digital infrastructure and strengthen cybersecurity as part of its broader initiative to achieve a significant leap in digital transformation. This effort involves supporting relevant government agencies and equipping them with the latest technologies, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and data analysis solutions, and collaborating with leading international companies and countries that are advanced in this field.
In line with these efforts, the Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT) is implementing the "Electronic Systems Crisis Response Center" project. The goal of this project is to ensure business continuity and protect government data from any potential technical risks. As part of this initiative, the agency has requested government agencies to nominate specialized liaison officers to join the project team, which is designed to address any crises stemming from malfunctioning electronic systems.
The agency has also informed government entities of the completion of work related to the cloud transformation project, which is part of a framework agreement between the Kuwaiti government and Google Cloud.
To further bolster cybersecurity, the Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT) has emphasized the importance of government agencies classifying their electronic data in accordance with the policy set by the National Cybersecurity Center. This classification is essential to ensuring that government data is adequately protected and in compliance with international security standards. These efforts are part of Kuwait's broader vision to enhance cybersecurity and improve the efficiency of government operations.
These initiatives highlight the CAIT's ongoing commitment to the success of national projects that support digital transformation. They also underscore the critical importance of collaboration between government agencies to ensure the success of these initiatives, which are designed to create a more advanced and secure digital environment in line with Kuwait's ambitions in the digital era.
