[kictanet] We must tread carefully on cyber security

[Ali Hussein]

Daktari

Indeed I remember Dubai. That is the price that we must pay for advocating
for a sober regulatory and business environment. That definitely doesn't
sit well for parties that are always looking over their shoulders instead
of looking forward.

 We must continue to advocate for the right balance to ensure that personal
freedoms, advancement of the industry and national security are given their
due attention.
