KUWAIT: Kuwait Technical College organized a panel discussion entitled ‘Computer Science Day’ on Wednesday with the participation of the US Embassy and the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority at its premises. “We live today in the era of digital technology and information revolution. With the spread of smart devices and cloud services, and with electronic development, there are those who seek to target these systems through cyberattacks and information penetration in different ways,” Chairman of K-Tech Mashari Boodai said.

“These attacks can affect every business entity in different societies, so we must work together to raise awareness and find solutions to avoid these cyberthreats and protect everyone, whether at the international level, governmental and private sectors, or at the level of individuals,” he added. “Kuwait Technical College is keen to organize sessions by experts and specialists in the field of cybersecurity from CITRA and the US Embassy to Kuwait to talk about the steps and measures to limit these attacks,” Boodai pointed out.
