Oman will soon have a national Computer Emergency Response Team in place after the idea was given the go-ahead by the board of the Information Technology Authority (ITA) at a meeting here.
The meeting, presided over by Mohammed bin Nasser Al Khusaibi, the ITA Chairman, also approved proposals to establish a ‘Contact Centre’ and prepare an Oman eGovernment Architecture Framework (OeGAF) to serve as a guide to the development, deployment and operations of information systems at government offices.
“ITA will continue its efforts for driving the government e-services further in cooperation with all public sector entities,” a spokesman said after the meeting. The board also reviewed an update of several ongoing projects and a follow-up report on the progress of the civil services staff IT training programme.
