The Organization of the Islamic Cooperation-Computer Emergency Response Team (OIC-CERT) Cloud Security Working Group, co-chaired by the UAE Cybersecurity Council and National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, has unveiled the OIC-CERT Cloud Security Framework. The initiative was officially launched by H.E. Dr. Mohamed Hamad Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity, United Arab Emirates Government, and H.E. Dr. Ahmed Abdel Hafez, Vice President of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority for Cybersecurity Affairs, and Head of the Executive Bureau of the Supreme Council of Cybersecurity. The framework is designed to provide guidance to organizations on how to secure their cloud computing environments and protect their data and systems from cyber threats.

Webscale, the industry leader in Intelligent CloudOps, has acquired Section.io, a trailblazer in edge-native computing, and launched CloudFlow, a Kubernetes orchestration platform with patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) automation at its core. CloudFlow allows organizations to take a zero-ops approach to enhancing operational efficiency, optimizing compute resources, and delivering ultra low-latency performance. CloudFlow's Composable Edge Cloud (CEC) enables one-click multi-cloud integration, allowing users to operate seamlessly across various cloud providers, liberating them from vendor lock-in and providing them with the flexibility to choose the best cloud for their needs.

In a mission-driven environment, the challenge is to ensure operators have access to critical applications and services at the point of need. This is why the cloud is vital to the DoD’s strategies. Beyond data storage, applications, and connectivity, the cloud supports advances in new capabilities that can deliver a powerful advantage.
