‘We have almost no cyber security’

ENAR

To discuss the state of telecommunications in Lebanon, Executive sat down with Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) Chairman and Chief Executive Imad Hoballah. He also serves as president of the Pan Arab Observatory for Cyber Security and Safety. A few years ago, the TRA was mandated to collect quality of service data. What is happening now? We have it [new equipment, applications and technology to monitor services]. It has been about a month since the TRA became fully equipped and we are going through quality of service measurements throughout the country and in about three to four weeks, maximum, we will have a new quality of service report that should help with further improvements. Will the quality of service data be published on the website or available to the Ministry of Telecommunications?  We hope that we will have good output to make available to the public. We are working towards it.
