presents latest technologies to combat it,
this issue presents a report on the latest virus
known as ransomware Telecommunications
Regulatory Authority TRA has warned about it.
TRA explains that this virus is a malware
can affect many devices in houses and
organizations such as smart phones and
computers and encrypt their data and make
it inaccessible. Security experts consider that
2016 is a year of ransomwares after new issues
of such patterns of viruses have been widely
spread from time to time.
In this issue, m-government interviewed
Jason Hart- VP and CTO of data protection
in Gemalto, a leading company in digital
security who gave advice of three steps in
order to limit the total cost and adverse side
effects caused from security breaches. These
recommended steps are: Encrypt all sensitive

maintain security and smart management
of organization –related encryption keys,
and access control and verification of user id.
These three steps have to be executed in IT
infrastructure environment which makes it
well-prepared for all kind of cyber attacks.
