DOHA: Organisations in Qatar will need to strengthen cybersecurity, unlock previously inaccessible data and invest in AI skills as they accelerate adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), noted Ghassan Kosta (pictured), Regional General Manager for Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Iraq at Google Cloud.
Summary
On the sidelines of Google Cloud Summit held this week, Kosta said the company was working with public and private-sector firms in Qatar as they explore ways to deploy AI at scale, stressing that advances in the technology must be accompanied by stronger security measures. “We are working closely with both the public and private sectors on AI,” he told The Peninsula in an interview. “As AI scales, security must keep pace.” The Regional General Manager identified three areas Google Cloud is prioritising in its work with customers such as security, data and upskilling.

KazaSec's take
Most public cloud incidents trace back to a misconfiguration — an overly permissive IAM role, a storage bucket left open, a default setting nobody revisited — rather than a flaw in the cloud provider itself. A cloud security review is built to catch exactly that class of mistake before it's found the hard way.
