Morocco’s Ministry of the Interior has launched a large-scale strategic cybersecurity project aimed at strengthening the protection of its IT systems at both central and territorial levels.
The initiative, valued at 33.6 million dirhams, is part of international tender No. 30/2025 and responds to the growing wave of cyberthreats targeting government infrastructures.
According to official tender documents, the program seeks to secure the ministry’s central administration and its 83 provincial and prefectural offices, reinforcing resilience against potential cyberattacks.
The plan marks a decisive step in modernizing the ministry’s digital security architecture through advanced protection, surveillance, and threat-response technologies.
The project is divided into three main technical components: perimeter protection, vulnerability management, and communication security.
The first, valued at 11.95 million dirhams, involves installing 91 next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and restructuring local networks with SD-WAN solutions to ensure secure, intelligent data routing.
The second lot, worth 14.38 million dirhams, focuses on cybersecurity intelligence infrastructure, including a vulnerability management platform, endpoint protection (EDR) tools, and a local log management system processing over 500 GB of data daily.
The third lot, budgeted at 7.28 million dirhams, targets email protection through advanced anti-malware and anti-spam gateways.
Beyond technology, the project emphasizes capacity building. The selected contractor must provide specialized training for ministry IT administrators and ensure supervision by a certified project manager.
