Interview: Khaled Hassan

By: Saber Mohamed

E-crime has become a reality with negative repercussions on the economy, the losses it causes to people and business sectors at the private and public levels, especially with regard to economic institutions, especially e-commerce, and what relates to public and private institutions, and what relates to banking institutions.

It is expected that electronic crimes may cause the loss of countries as the Middle East region incurs an equivalent of 750 million dollars annually due to electronic crimes, and these numbers are expected to rise due to the increased use of the Internet on a large scale to communicate and conclude transactions and commercial deals by both individuals and institutions. Both in addition to that there are 400,000 electronic attacks annually

He explained that the average size of losses due to electronic breaches of companies that have a strategy and infrastructure for information security ranges between 2 - 3 million dollars, even though it can reach the average losses for companies that do not have a security infrastructure, to 8 million dollars.

The concern of individuals and institutions has become how to face these risks and secure all data and information, and for this reason, "Jetworks" company, which specializes in securing networks and information and protecting companies and users from the dangers and threats of the Internet, has launched a new package for a number of digital solutions for network and information security in Egypt and the Middle East In cooperation with the international company "Sophos", "Digital World" had this dialogue with Eng. Mohamed Haroun, CEO of "JetWorks" company to get a closer look at the vision and strategy of the company to meet the needs of business organizations from information security solutions in light of the number-shift operations And mechanization, which seeks to apply either government institutions or the private sector.

Initially, he stressed in response to the question of "a digital scientist" that there is a triad for any information security solutions, the first of which is that it is a product for ease of use. Maintaining a balance between the three elements in proposing security solutions according to the capabilities of each institution and commensurate with the skills of the institutional human. At the same time, new solutions integrate with the existing infrastructure of the institution and the idea of ​​aligning is very important between solutions.

He added, "Jet Works" is a company specialized in securing networks and information and protecting companies and users from the dangers and threats of the Internet and one of the most important companies, which has won the trust of its customers over 12 years in this field where it was established in 2005 at its headquarters in Alexandria where the number of employees in the company currently exceeds about 35 specialists along with 200 technicians to install and operate information security solutions.

The growing misuse of electronic networks has added criminal targets that negatively affect the integrity of the sensitive information infrastructure, especially on personal information, government, services, and financial sectors, and that these solutions are able to secure and integrity all the data for people and all companies in the government and private sectors.

الشركة The company provides its services to customers through a strong network of authorized distributors in Egypt and the authorized distributor of the main products and services of "ESET, Sofos and LOGO.

“It is also the only training center accredited by Sophos International.

He added, according to specialized statistics, that there are about 3.5 million real job opportunities worldwide in the field of information security and data protection, which constitutes a steady increase since the volume of opportunities in the field of information security did not exceed one million jobs in 2014.

"Jetworks" has worked to develop the vital role of connecting sellers with the needs of local markets, which has enabled support and implementation for clients and success partners in Egypt where the company has a network of local partners, reaching 100 distributors for its solutions, and it serves as a strong channel base throughout the country as it provides Its services in the Middle East and Africa in the areas of information security, business applications and smart technology solutions

 He said that e-crime has become a reality that has negative repercussions on the economy, as it is sufficient to point out that the region's losses could exceed $ 735 million annually due to cybercrime and it is expected to rise due to the increasing use of the Internet on a large scale to communicate and conclude transactions and commercial deals by individuals and institutions.

On cooperation with government agencies, he said that the company has an integrated platform of specialized solutions in data encryption, information protection and network security, and we already have coordination and cooperation with many government agencies and the company is organizing introductory workshops to present the various solutions that government agencies need.

The main concern of individuals and institutions is how to face these risks and secure all data and information, and for this reason the company announced the launch of a new package for a number of digital solutions for network and information security in Egypt and the Middle East.

جيت JetWorks CEO stressed that the growing misuse of electronic networks for criminal purposes negatively affects the integrity of the sensitive information infrastructure, especially on personal information, government, services and financial sectors.

We also added a device for security connectivity to ensure that institutions get a secure connection to the Internet and the network as the company has succeeded in providing services to customers in the Middle East in the areas of information security, business applications and smart technology solutions and is growing in terms of the number of partners, products and customers.

 He pointed out that the internet hackers did not stand idly by either as the emergence of new technologies such as the cloud and the Internet of things and artificial intelligence that have become more prevalent but rather developed threats to be more effective so they launched new attacks that exploit frightening weaknesses and launch many malware, but the new generation of solutions Sophos is able to deal effectively with modern threats thanks to the technology of synchronization and integration between network security and endpoint security.

Engineer Haroun pointed out that over the years the security industry focused primarily on the course of the Internet, but the current geopolitical environment has changed and you are now in front of countries that adopt cyber attacks and put more sophisticated engineers on a mission of exploitation on other countries or even companies and this changes the overall ecosystem of Siberian security and creates more threats Sophisticated and dangerous for everyone

......................?

 51% of the volume of cyber attacks were stressed on medium-sized companies, especially that large companies have the efficiency and work team that helps them to face these attacks, explaining that the high cost of information security infrastructure needs to be a good study of the needs of each organization separately without downloading it at a cost Higher than its financial capabilities, and therefore information security depends on the triad of risks, awareness, cost and balance between them.

......................?

دا In response to the question of “Digital World” about securing wireless technologies, I believe that securing mobile technologies has become a necessity in light of the increasing institutions have relied on wireless work technologies, especially that 60% of workers in institutions use their own portable devices to practice work without having protection programs Which exposes businesses to many risks.

In response to a question by a digital scientist about the role of public cloud computing in providing security for enterprises, he said, of course, the use of cloud computing technologies will help reduce the risks that they can face from stealing their data, but unfortunately we cannot say that most of the local institutions know how to use cloud computing.

"Artificial Intelligence" has become a basic component of information solutions, and therefore we are cooperating with an English company, specialized in the field of artificial intelligence to provide smart solutions to secure communication between employees when transferring data, monitoring movements and Western practices on the enterprise network, and sending warnings to network managers with the classification of information according to the job level hierarchy For workers in the institution and determine the type of information allowed for each employee.
