The governments of Arabian Gulf States are under immediate and constant threat of Internet terrorism, said an executive with information technology (IT) security solutions provider, ComGuard, speaking at a recent gathering of e-government officials from across the region. 

 

“The Arabian Gulf States are under threat of being attacked and violated by cyber-terrorists located anywhere in the world, and the threat increases with each passing day because technology is not enough to prevent terrorism from striking deep into the heart of a government's most sensitive data,” said Managing Director of ComGuard, Herbert Kamensky. 

 

Participating as a keynote speaker in a jointly sponsored e-government road show that will make stops in Abu Dhabi, Amman, Dubai, and Riyadh, Kamensky pointed out that global IT security solutions are currently available in the region, but did not state which organizations had implemented which technologies if any.
