In December 2012, the ITU Arab Regional Cyber Security Center (ITU-ARCC) is established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Sultanate of Oman, represented by the Information Technology Authority with a vision of creating a safer and cooperative cybersecurity environment in the Arab Region and strengthening the role of ITU in building confidence and security in the use of information and communication technologies in the region. In line with the objectives of the ITU Global Cyber security Agenda (GCA), ITU-ARCC acts as ITU’s cybersecurity hub in the region localizing and coordinating cybersecurity initiatives. ITU-ARCC is hosted, managed and operated by Oman National CERT (OCERT). The Centre was officially launched on the 3rd of March 2013, at the Oman National CERT in Muscat, Oman, by Dr. Salim Sultan Al Ruzaiqi, CEO of ITA and Mr. Houlin Zhao, the Deputy Secretary General of the ITU, who is currently holding the position of the Secretary General of ITU.
