In a three-day Milipol Qatar 2021 event, MOSECO and partners joined leaders from the homeland and civil defense industry to present current solutions in the world of cybersecurity in order to secure a safer world.

During a three-day exhibition, Milipol Qatar 2021 gathered exhibitors from 17 countries worldwide in the homeland security and civil defense domain. In this highly-regarded event, together with our partners from Rohde & Schwarz, T3K Forensics, Softech, LockMagic, and CrowdStrike, we have jointly demonstrated the usage of our hardware and software solutions. Since the event proved to be a fertile ground for new profitable and sustainable technologies and ensures more resource efficiency, we have successfully encouraged new business contacts and collaboration.

With our partners from Rohde & Schwarz, we showcased an extensive portfolio of system solutions for radio monitoring and drone detection. The company’s receivers, direction finders, antennas, signal analysis solutions, and customized systems have made Rohde & Schwarz a reliable partner for many decades. With solutions to support public safety and security organizations, military operators, and regulatory authorities in the area of radio monitoring and network analysis, this reliability continues to thrive. To protect critical infrastructures against the threat of drones, Rohde & Schwarz offers the R&S ARDRONIS drone detection solution. R&S ARDRONIS quickly detects and locates these flying devices based on their remote control signals. The Rohde & Schwarz monitoring and direction finding systems are ideal for stationary, mobile, and portable deployment.

Also, with our partners from T3K Forensics, we were focused on demonstrating the deployment of LEAP and Biometrics solutions. T3K is set out to revolutionize the analysis of big amounts of smartphone data, by automating time-consuming work with the use of artificial intelligence, which is done through the automated analysis process, where viewing time of these challenging content is significantly minimized. LEAP allows the use of smartphones to identify persons, as well as to probe for possible incriminating material – for example at immigration checkpoints or in ongoing mobile forensic investigations. Moreover, with Biometetrics solutions we aim to remove the extra step from the process and make it not only possible but also easy to take fingerprints and headshots in the right formats, simply using the smartphone camera. Different applications of these technologies can be used by the Police, as well as Immigration or Employment authorities, but can also be offered as a service to private persons.

With Softech, an IT consultant and System Integrator firm, we exhibited an open-source intelligence solution, which offers organizations and agencies access to comprehensive analytical reports on entities or specific people of interest, called InGrav PeopleMon. InGrav PeopleMon combines data analytics technology with a groundbreaking knowledge base, including a repository of 20 years worth of data covering hundreds of millions worldwide. InGrav PeopleMon allows agencies and companies to create a comprehensive profile of people, where investigators can search and access billions of profiles, including family, relatives, addresses, photos, contact info, emails, social media data, breaches data, etc. The data is collected from various data sources and is ready to use at any time.

On the cybersecurity domain, we presented the features of our Email, Files, Folders & Collaboration Platform LockMagic. Our patented identity-based encryption technology enables people to secure and share information anywhere without the need for passwords. Users seamlessly share files and grant access to others by simply using their email address eliminating the need to exchange and manage passwords or certificates. During the event, we demonstrated onsite implementation of the platform and its features - from sending encrypted attachments directly from windows explorer and saving encrypted content in any location, to opening the encrypted content on a webpage without any client installation and creating policy templates for authorized users and content control instances, and so much more.

Raising awareness that it doesn’t take much effort to misuse modern information and communications technology for illegal purposes, public safety and security authorities need state-of-the-art technology to counter this situation. Teaming up with leading technology providers to detect and ward off threats at an early stage and track criminal offenses, MOSECO and partners have concluded the event successfully and are open to collaboration in the sphere which gathered us in this year’s Milipol. Occasions like these, which bring together a variety of different approaches, knowledge, and solutions, are the way through which we say that we all reached a remarkable achievement both at a local and global scale.

Breaking News: Breaches on Microsoft Servers

9/3/2021

0 Comments

After discovering a breach in early January and attributing it to Chinese cyberspies, a new problem emerged. Five days before Microsoft issued a patch on March 2, another explosion of infiltrations by other intruders, piggybacking on the initial breach appeared. Victims organizations range from those that run email servers, from retailers to law firms, municipal governments, healthcare providers, and manufacturers, Associated Press confirmed. While this hack doesn’t pose any kind of national security threat worldwide, it still is a threat for victims who didn’t install the patch in time, thus allowing hackers to invade their systems.
Cybersecurity analysts released that around 30,000 US victims are detected last Friday, whereas the global number of victims affected by this issue goes up to 250,000 in the estimate. Cybersecurity firm TrustedSec, confirmed that hundreds of thousands of organizations could have been vulnerable to the hack. Finding a solution to this problem is not a simple task as updating software, but it rather requires upgrades in servers, with a very small number of incidence response teams equipped to tackle this.

In order to avoid hackers invading your businesses, we at MOSECO provide cybersecurity breach protection, thus saving your data and blocking any possible intrusions and attacks. Our partners at CrowdStrike and our encryption system LockMagic can surely prevent breaches, keeping your data intact and protected.

Next Monday, March 15 we will be showcasing these in the coming Milipol Qatar, Homeland Security and Civil Defence event.

How much do you know about data privacy?

18/2/2021

In our last week’s online panel discussion, five prominent experts in the field of data and technology gathered together to discuss the need to work on an international regulatory framework aimed to protect the data privacy of businesses and individuals.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Ahmed Elmagarmid, the executive director at Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), emphasized the importance of setting down the law to strengthen national security and act independently in the digital world. Nevertheless, the nations working on developing international regulations and rules on data sovereignty and data protection are still not collaborating.

Dr. Elmagarmid underlined the dangers of state-sponsored cyberattacks and that the number of these attacks is on the rise, emphasizing the need for policies to regulate the use of cyberwarfare. He also added that “One of the challenges in cybersecurity is the lack of collaboration among countries in sharing data. Similarly, banks are not sharing information about the nature of the attacks because they are worried about the financial implications. While the attackers share information very widely on the dark web”.

ICT Expert and former Head of Technical Affairs at the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), Abdulla Jassmi, pointed out the need to conduct massive awareness campaigns to educate the public on consumer data awareness. He underlined, “Data is used in different ways without you knowing anything about it,” and stressed how important it is to have the people informed on how their data is recorded and where and in what way it is used. “Transparency, awareness, and education are the keys for ensuring that the data is protected within the border,” added Jassmi.

During the event, the Director of Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs for the Middle East Cluster at Microsoft, Yasemin Genc, highlighted the crucial role of technology in daily life. Speaking about data classification as the starting point of developing frameworks, she said, “Developing a global approach would be the key. It is important to come up with a global framework, receive guidelines and standards to align, all of the different thinking around the world to align, align taxonomy and define best practices of data management.” She pointed out that already existing standards can help develop the framework and understand its needs. When discussing how far Qatar has reached in policymaking related to data sovereignty, she noted that it will take some time to make it, but also that “Qatar has been moving in this area much faster than a lot of the others in the region.”

Vice-President and Economic Advisor of the Government Affairs Team at Huawei Technologies, Andrew Williamson, agreed and explained that “governments should work together on a framework, standardizing global agreements on cybersecurity certification and checks on vendor hardware and software; agree to those standards, so the market becomes more competitive” adding that “Qatar should Check what happens in other parts of the world. It is about where gov wants to be and define what is important and what needs to be secured and what requires less protection.”

Since this is a hot topic and the future is promising when it comes to analyzing and defining rules and regulations is only yet to come, the senior developer engineer and Qatar University researcher, Dr. Rateb Jabbar pointed out that with new technologies, we can only profit in understanding the way of data sovereignty. We need more knowledge of what we want to achieve. Dr. Jabbar clarified that this problem is rising day after day since there is a big gap between the evolution of technologies, and with new technologies, concepts, and methodology on one side, and the making of the policy on another, it proves that it takes more time for policymaking than the evolution of technology, this gap needs to be closed.

Chairman of MOSECO Qatar, Marwan Marouf Rafiq Mahmoud, who moderated the discussion on Data Sovereignty, asserted cloud adoption is imminent and that it is something that can lead us to future policymaking. “The private sector is looking at this, and there’s a big opportunity for localizing skills and localizing products. The private sector is looking forward to building partnerships,” he concluded.

Museums Gone Digital

22/12/2020

0 Comments

Museums are a sanctuary of history, art and culture. The stories they hold are meant to captivate visitors and take them on a journey of time and space.
With the growth of technology, and newer generations being able to utilize information with a click of a phone or tablet, museum experiences have seen a significant shift toward technology and digital experiences that bring their exhibits to life.

To bring these exhibits to life, we utilize a wide range of technology, to tell stories through zones or galleries. These zones are either interactive or non-interactive, made up of several architectural LCD displays, video walls of various sizes, audio systems, specialized lighting effects and of course each screen or zone is designed to run specialized content, creating distinct experiences. All your storytelling exhibitions are accompanied by diverse programming and learning experiences for diverse audiences, publications, and online content.

Below is a walk-through of a Digital Museum, with an in depth look at all the different zones and experiences we conceptualized and brought to life:

Zone 1:
As a first experience as you walk into the Museum, you are greeted by a Video Wall consisting of nine 45-inch displays, each with HD resolution of 1920x1080, utilizing Extended Rugged Optics (ERO) technology, with specialized content.

Zone 2:
As a second experience we take you through eight 75-inch Planar independent interactive displays, each with a resolution of 3840x2160, featuring a twenty-point touch interface that also utilizes Extended Rugged Optics (ERO) technology. This zone allows for audio reinforcement with Shure – ANI4OUT Dante Break-Out-Boxes placed within the structures of the display, allowing for a seamless AV interactive experience.

Zone 3:
Featuring the largest interactive video wall in the Middle East region, an array of 8x3 displays, consisting of twenty-four 55-inch Planar displays, each with a resolution of 1929x108, and with a thirty-two-point PQ Labs multi-touch overlay and utilizing extended rugged optics (ERO) technology. This video wall features stereoscopic audio, allowing several users to interact with content, without being disturbed by overlapping noise, creating a personalized interactive experience for each visitor.

Zone 4:
Consisting of 15 displays in an artistic layout, multiple screen sizes, visitors can walk through this space and visually enjoy different streams of content. The screens are encapsulated by a wooden finish fit-out, adding to the beauty of the journey.

Zone 5:
Featuring a 2x2 interactive table, consisting of four 55-inch MultiTaction interactive displays, each with a resolution of 1920x1080. Each display includes interactive touch point interfaces that utilize a tempered 4mm Opti-white Glass surface. The tables have an interface plate that allows them to be moved around the facility depending on the specific exhibit requirement, making them modular. Visitors can stand and interact with the content on the table displays, allowing them to learn as they use this space.

Zone 7:
Consisting of 56 Mosaic styled video wall displays on a steel armature, with content distributed across all of the displays, visitors are amazed by the seamless distribution of content and enjoy this mosaic video wall as a centerpiece of the museum.

Zone 8:
Featuring a 3x4 video wall, this zone is a non-interactive content and story board that visitors gaze at to learn about the different exhibits and stories featured as they spend time in the Digital Museum.

Zone 9:
Lastly, the independent landscape display, housed in a lounge cocoon, where visitors can relax for a few minutes as they take in streams of content, located strategically in view of several other zones, allowing users to admire content from various displays.

All of the above zones provide a unique informative and interactive experience, distinguishable by the various templates and content streams that rift through the digital museum space, allowing several stories to be told at one time and providing an edutainment experience that is unforgettable, mixing technology and edutainment, in one space.

Smart Museums

In a rapidly changing society which becomes more and more digitized, art is not spared either. Technology has entered museums and art galleries and it is here to stay. Yet, the focus of digitizing museums is not on technology itself but rather on visitors’ experience.

The physical museum should be complemented with digital information of smart museums. Since user experience is very important and according to researchers, museum visitors spend less than one minute in each collection, the question is how to captivate visitors’ attention?

In order to preserve art appreciation and enhance visitors’ knowledge, physical museums are becoming a blend of technology elements.

We at MOSECO believe that the traditional method of masterwork description can be replaced with those that enhance the sensory impact and the real experience of the visitors, be it in a video or audio format. In order to improve communication between visitors and museums, we have recognized that it is very important to focus on visualization, personalization and education.

In relation to visualization, sensory measurement devices can be used to measure how much time a visitor spends in front of different artifacts to determine how to make these pieces more approachable.
On the subject of personalization, museums can optimize wayfinding screens to attract visitors by choosing the most popular collections to see or they can create their own interactive maps easily accessible online through profiles or apps. Also, through these profiles, visitors can share reviews of the collections which are of interest for others after they finished the on-site visit, exchanging information on collections and different pieces and thus actively participate in education of others and themselves.
This can lead to another segment where technology takes over many museum exhibitions; many actual objects offer limited explanations distancing visitors from the actual artifacts and since interaction is very important, why not make museums more interactive itself. This especially comes in handy in the COVID19 world where digitization is here to stay! Digital museums are new now, and equipping traditional museums with technology which will communicate stories beyond the artifacts is the reality we create together!
We at MOSECO bridge visitors to artworks through creating different reality and history available at the fingertip. Discover more on the artifacts and get educated on its history, but also enhance visitors’ experience and make it more enjoyable, we can help you achieve all this!

Museums are an important part of history and technology is a fun way to discover, blending these together will open doors to smart museums in a smart city with smart technology and smart citizens.
