A/67/167 Threat monitoring system. The system is an in-house tool that aggregates and analyses threat intelligence information from a number of sources in order to detect and mitigate the impact of infected computers or local websites. Malware analysis lab The objective of the lab is to build the capability to measure, analyse and provide protection from malware threats on a national level. Currently, the lab produces a detailed report on the behaviour of the malware on infected machines; types of targeted system; the sources of malware based in the country; and any Internet connection with the command and control server. It also helps to measure the weight of every collected malware, in order to evaluate the risk associated with specific malware threats by volume of the malware, and to provide detection of malware through all anti-virus engines existing in the market. Public incident handling The Qatar Computer Emergency Response Team aims to minimize the number of infected machines in the State of Qatar by providing essential support to the public and to the critical sector. In order to achieve this goal and provide the right guidance, Qatar has expanded its incident response service to cover home Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Internet users via the public incident handling portal. It provides various steps, guidelines and basic software tools to scan and remove infections from home ADSL machines. Cybersecurity training The Qatar Computer Emergency Response Team conducts cybersecurity-related training and workshops for information technology professionals from Government organizations and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Cybersecurity awareness The Qatar Computer Emergency Response Team builds a foundation of human knowledge about cybersecurity issues and best practices, focusing on corporate employees. It works to protect critical infrastructure, in view of the fact that a number of industry sectors such as finance, energy and information and communications technology, are critical to sustaining Qatar’s economy, its population and its Government. As a result, it aims to protect the information systems that underpin these critical sectors as follows: • Developing national protection strategies, best practices frameworks and tools, raising awareness with stakeholders. • Directly assisting owners and operators of critical infrastructures in improving supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) network safeguards. • Understanding industry sector issues and cross-sector dependencies and implementing sector-specific protection strategies. • Working with international information infrastructure protection organizations for determining transnational solutions. 14 12-43414
