"Stay Aware" Campaign
In line with Qatar's efforts to enhance awareness of cybersecurity risks and its vision towards building a
cyber-resilient society, Qatar Central Bank launched a large-scale national campaign to raise awareness of
information security under the slogan "Stay Aware" in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior, National
Cybersecurity Agency, and Qatar Financial Center Regulatory Authority.
The campaign aims to build an information security culture within the society that can face challenges that
accompany the accelerating technological revolution. Mainly, the campaign seeks to spread awareness amongst
the public on the importance of data privacy and dangers of financial fraud, highlighting cyber threats that
may arise in light of the rapid technological and digital development.
By identifying emerging and critical risks in the digital landscape, the campaign identifies the main channels
of cyber fraud, which include phone calls, social media, emails, SMS messages and URL links. The campaign also
provides the public with best practices and practical strategies to avoid falling victim to such threats.
Qatar Central Bank, along its partners in this campaign, emphasize the vital role of the ongoing awareness
efforts in building a safer electronic society capable of responding to such threats. As such, the campaign
aims to empower and protect individuals and institutions, establish a culture of electronic vigilance, and
protect citizens from everchanging cyber threats.
