Telco security in Qatar: an asset-driven response

Please complete the form below or register for a free public account to access this report.
This is the first report in a two-part series exploring how Qatar can strengthen cybersecurity resilience in a rapidly evolving 5G landscape. As 5G becomes the foundation of the nation’s digital economy (powering finance, e-government, smart transport and critical infrastructure), the importance of securing networks extends beyond consumer protection to national security and economic stability.
This research assesses the global threat landscape, with a focus on the risks facing telecoms operators and their readiness to defend in 2025. The report also sets Qatar’s progress in the global context. An asset-driven cybersecurity model is outlined, where protection is prioritised according to the strategic value of assets rather than purely technical risk indicators.
This report has been jointly authored by GSMA Intelligence and the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) of Qatar. While the implications are foremost relevant for the telecoms industry and regulatory bodies in Qatar, there is read-across to other countries.
