Dubai Municipality (DM), a government organisation providing the backbone for most of the city’s public services, believed that its existing system was not capable of ensuring security across its network. Responsible for a range of public services such as transport, planning, public health, and roads services, the organisation required a robust, speedy security solution to continue to meet the demands of the rapidly expanding city.
Against a backdrop of rapid economic growth and increased demands on its systems there was a clear business need behind the Municipality’s desire to overhaul its in-house IT security. At a fundamental level, Dubai Municipality required a security solution that would ensure its network was free from security risks such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other attacks.
