7-time protection against cyber-attacks in the country and across the African continent as well.
The company has multiple offices around the world, and this one will be the sixth Cyber Security Operations Center (SOC) in Morocco.
“Thales is proud to be able to strengthen its expertise and know-how in the field of cyber security in Morocco,” reads a press release issued by Thales today, 5th April. The business wire added that it would deliver responses and services in compliance with Morocco’s cyber security infrastructure and policies.
“As well as our analysis capacities, the company offers businesses access to a hybrid consultancy and monitoring solution for their activity, thus demonstrating our commitment to fostering skills and autonomy over the long term,” the press release highlighted.
Thales offers its clients more than 20 years’ expertise in the field of cyber security; such as SOC solutions, cyber auditing and consulting, big data and artificial intelligence. The company further has SOCs in Canada, France, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
Morocco, throughout the year 2021, has been attacked 400 times, according to data from the General Directorate of Information Systems Security (DGSSI). In 2020, the Kingdom ranked 50th out of 182 nations in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) cyber security report, and seventh in the Arab world.
As Morocco is becoming more reliant on digital infrastructures, the country is looking forward to combating cybercrime as well as stimulating the digital economy. On June 28, 2021, King Mohamed VI established a new legal framework to reinforce cyber security in Morocco.
Under this law, two institutions were created; The Strategic Cyber security Commission, whose main goal is to outline the State’s main cyber security guidelines, and The National Cyber security Authority, empowered to conduct technical investigations to fight cyber attacks.
