Doha, Qatar: Prioritising digital transformation solidifies Qatar’s governance and sets a benchmark for global nations in building transparent, inclusive, and technologically advanced societies, an official said.

Mobile platforms and online portals ensure services are available to all segments of society,  fostering inclusivity. However, AI-powered tools can identify gaps in service delivery, enabling targeted interventions. Moreover, e-governance tools empower citizens to participate in decision-making processes, building trust and collaboration between governments and their people.

In an interview with The Peninsula, the Business Development Director at Mozn, Hanan Alqahtani said “Digital transformation has the power to revolutionise governance by making public services more accessible, efficient, and transparent. By digitising processes, Qatar can enhance accountability and reduce the risk of corruption.”

As digital financial services expand, institutions face heightened risks from cyber threats, including phishing, ransomware, and data breaches. Alqahtani stressed that establishing robust cybersecurity frameworks and integrating them with financial crime prevention measures ensures a cohesive response to these interconnected threats.

Regular penetration testing, advanced encryption, and secure data storage are critical components of a solid defense. Market leaders therefore note that a partnership between financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement agencies is pivotal.
