Sponsor Interviews 8 - 10 March 2020

Mobily's tech-driven approach to boost Kingdom's economy

The utilities & energy sector is experiencing a phase that is underpinned by numerous operational

and external factors such as aging infrastructure, changing energy regulations, pressures on return

on investment, shifts in energy consumption patterns, demands of dynamic pricing, distribution

efficiency, cost control and better customer experience. These factors are compelling these

organizations to fundamentally rethink their strategies to remain competitive and cost efficient.

Disruptive technologies like IoT, edge computing, Big Data and Analytics, and AI have provided the

capability to address many of the above-mentioned factors. Hence utilities and energy companies

are harnessing the power of such technologies and also adopting digital transformation initiatives to

remain competitive by deriving benefits from improved forecasting and pricing, extended life and

effectiveness of assets, improved customer satisfaction and ability to address energy regulation

mandates.

According to the World Bank, energy demand in the Middle East is expected to rise at an annual rate

of 1.9%, through 2035. Within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, several Smart City initiatives and Mega

and Giga infrastructure projects are also underway. Moreover, national digitization initiatives and the

programs under the Vision 2030 are leading to heavy investment in network infrastructure year on

year such that the infrastructure sector has been allocated 5.5 percent of the total 2020 budget

equaling SAR 56 billion.

On the backdrop of these developments, Smart Meters provide a suitable solution that can drive

improvements in energy efficiency, reduction in carbon emissions and provide the necessary tools

for predicting demand, managing supply and planning network expansion. Smart meter roll-out can

not only provide detailed and accurate analytics on electrical usage in real-time, but also eliminate

manual monthly meter reading expenses, encourage efficient power utilization and provide

accurate data for balancing electric loads. The utilities sector can also capitalize on data generated

from these smart meters to develop dynamic pricing strategies, optimize profits with existing

resources and develop newer solutions.

Globally, the spending on smart meters is expected grow at a healthy CAGR of 9.3% over the next 5

years and reach SAR 75 billion by 2022. Saudi Arabia and its neighboring GCC countries account for

almost 10% potential of this global spending with only North America and Europe ahead of them

with 20% and 18% respectively (source: World Economic Forum).

ENG. MAJED ABDULAZIZ ALOTAIBI

Chief Business & Wholesale Officer,Mobily

22


In the wake of such developments, the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has launched a project of

cost SAR 9.5 billion to install 10 million smart meters by 2023 for consumers across the Kingdom.

Mobily is part of a consortium that also includes Al-Fanar Construction China Electric Power

Equipment and Technology (SGCC) to cover multiple regions in the country. SEC has mandated for

3.5 million of these meters to be purchased from local manufacturers in light of National Industrial

Development and Logistics Program’s (NIDLP) aim of growing local manufacturing capabilities to

boost the economy through job creation and increased private sector engagement. For SEC, the

introduction of smart metering is essential for handling a booming energy demand in a fast-paced

economy. Moreover, smart metering implementation projects will provide SEC the opportunity for a

thorough restructuring and liberalization of the Saudi electricity sector. Building the cornerstone of

digital transformation through next-gen infrastructure with trusted partners is going to be a vital

part of Saudi Arabia’s transformation.

Mobily, being one of the leading catalysts of national digitization in the Kingdom, has the abilities

and tools to generate opportunities and new revenues streams for the utility companies. With

data-driven technologies, including AI, RPA, Cloud, Data Centers, IoT sensors, Edge Devices and agile

approaches, Mobily can help the utilities sector its improve operational and maintenance efficien-

cies through tools that can create a culture of constant improvement and aid the utilities sector not

only in terms of value chain, but also improvements in their processes. Furthermore, Mobily’s ecosys-

tem-driven approach towards technology implementation will also play a key role in offering

services to its customers in order to realize their business goals and help build a stronger economy

for the Kingdom.

1. Cyber security is ranked as a high priority in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. How can your company support Saudi Arabia’s efforts of addressing cyber security collectively? What are you plans for Saudi Arabia?

Fortinet has multiple initiatives in Saudi Arabia. Firstly, close the cybersecurity skill shortage gap by

supporting education, training, mentoring for cybersecurity professionals and every day users in

order to better tackled today’s sophisticated cyberattacks.

Secondly, ensure that Saudi’s students have access to safe and productive environments where they

can advance their education and prepare for their careers. We plan to work closer with couple of

universities in Saudi Arabia to launch FNSA programs (Fortinet Network Security Academy) -

designed to provide industry-recognized Fortinet training and certification opportunities to the next

generation of cybersecurity professionals. The FNSA program collaborates with academic

institutions, non-profit organizations, and veterans programs around the world to help learners to

become part of an elite group of skilled security professionals.

2. The region is embracing disruptive technologies such as cloud and mobility. This raises network and data security concerns. How can your company help address these challenges?

The cloud is a powerful tool, but it has surface simplicity that can mask serious complexities,

especially in terms of security, that if not done right, can create more challenges than it solves. On

the other hand, the amount of data that now moves outside the traditional data center

perimeter - due to the growth of mobile devices, an increased reliance on web applications, and the

rapid transfer of data to the cloud - is also one of the most concerning trends.

Organizations require a comprehensive security strategy that can span all networked environments,

IoT and end user devices, and mobile access points. Our Fortinet Multi-Cloud Solutions provide the

necessary visibility and control across cloud infrastructures, enabling secure applications and

connectivity from data center to cloud.

3. In your opinion, what are the top 3-5 cyber security challenges/aspects/gaps that are prevalent in the MEA region? Why do you think organisations find it difficult to address them?

Closing the Cyber skills Gap : The skills gap continues to accelerate, it is now considered to be one of

the top cybersecurity risks facing many organizations. The true challenge goes beyond the lack of

cybersecurity professionals. Today’s technology users suffer from a general lack of awareness of even

the most basic threats, putting the organizations they work at constant risk of a potentially serious

breach. And that is due to a failure in understanding that cybersecurity is everyone's job, and

organizations need training and education programs that address many different audiences. Public

and private institutions alike must employ a comprehensive workforce initiative around

cybersecurity to create a talent pool that can serve many. Cybersecurity vendors have also a critical

role to play as well, that goes well beyond simply providing training on their own products and

solutions.

Leveraging AI and Automation: As the modern threat landscape continues to expand, adding

artificial intelligence (AI) to a security strategy has become paramount to establishing and

maintaining an effective security posture. Given the speed and complexity of modern cyberthreats,

network security teams need the assistance of machine learning and other AI-based capabilities in

order to detect, secure, and mitigate modern attacks. Unfortunately, many organizations still rely on

legacy point product solutions, incorporating different isolated products into their network,

rendering their ability to adequately detect and respond to today’s advanced attack strategies

obsolete. In order to protect the success of digital transformation, and the new digital economy

driving that transformation, cybersecurity personnel need to get out in front of this challenge now

by leveraging AI-assisted security solutions that provide the breadth and rapid detection and

response capabilities needed to keep pace with modern cybercriminals. That means adopting an

intelligently integrated approach that leverages the power and resources of today's enterprise.

Gain full visibility of the entire network: organizations must implement a SD-WAN solution that

integrates network and security functionality. This deep interoperability between security and

network functions is the hallmark of the next generation of Security-Driven Networking. By weaving

these traditionally separate systems into a single solution, organizations can achieve the visibility and

control necessary to truly secure their entire infrastructure. One of the most common issues facing

organizations looking to deploy an SD-WAN solution is because today’s branch offices have complex

requirements that legacy routers, and even most SD-WAN solutions have simply not been designed

to address. Our Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN and SD-Branch solutions combine the entire suite of

powerful security tools included in the FortiGate NGFW security appliance – including firewall, IPS,

antivirus, web filtering, and sandboxing – with a rich suite of essential connectivity, bandwidth

management, and application recognition tools to ensure the reliable delivery of even the most

latency-sensitive business applications.

4. What are the new innovations from Fortinet?

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is one of the few solutions on the market that addresses the FULL range of

challenges being faced by organizations, combining advanced connectivity and traffic and

application management functionality with a full suite of integrated security solutions, including

NGFW, IPS, antivirus/anti-malware, web filtering, a full range of VPN options, and advanced threat

protection solutions such as sandboxing.

In the November 2019 Gartner analyst research report, “Critical Capabilities for WAN Edge

Infrastructure,” Fortinet received the highest score in the “Security-Sensitive WAN” use case, and

ranked within the five highest for all remaining WAN Edge use cases. Gartner went on to recommend

that “users consider the set of critical capabilities as some of the most important criteria for [WAN

Edge infrastructure] acquisition decisions.”

5. What is your opinion on knowledge sharing and networking platforms such as Saudi IoT that address key challenges and provide tangible solutions? How do you look at leveraging these platforms to achieve your business objectives?

We are pleased to contribute to this event. I believe this is a really great initiative bringing together

distant, isolated areas saving time and money, while minimizing risk. However, this connectivity

comes at a cost. Remote devices can be susceptible to cyber-attacks such as hacks, viruses and

spyware invasions that can go undetected until it is too late.

We believe that Awareness is critical when trying to determine a balanced security solution for IoT

applications. For that there must be collabs with security professionals, Awareness programs or

workshops must be arranged in order identify the security GAPS as our opinion on cyber security is

straight forward.

“Security is a culture and together we need the business to take place and be part of that security

culture”

3. Logistics in one of the potentials & lucrative verticals - how is IoT been integrated in your solutions?

ANS: When talking about the Internet of Things, we always think about communication. Interaction

AEC SMART MOSQUE SOLUTION

The smart mosque solution is designed to be a major energy-saver for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There are over 90,000 mosques across the Kingdom that consume approximately 20.6 Billion KWh of energy, annually. With such a large volume of energy being consumed by mosques alone, there is a need to show a sense of responsiveness in managing the energy consumption patterns of Saudi Arabian mosques. Furthermore, the Kingdom is undergoing a phase of rapid digitalization across multiple industries. The Mosque smart solution is a good use case and can be replicated for other buildings such as hospitals and schools which are integral part of Saudi Arabia’s infrastructural landscape, there is a need to include them in the ambit of digital transformation. The smart building solution is meant to improve the energy efficiency of public buildings , enhance the internal building environment, whilst offer utility to users .

Our experts define a smart mosque as ‘an actionable and automated mosque that deploysdigital technologies to offer enhanced experiences to worshippers whilst fostering safety andenergy-efficiency across the premises’.

The success of the smart mosque solution lies in its ability to generate utility for three entities, viz. the worshippers, the mosque management, and national-level planners.

Utility for Worshippers

By offering daily reminders for prayer and Iqamah timings, separate audio lessons and voicetransmission for women’s section, the smart mosque solution offers unique experiences toworshippers. Furthermore, the presence of automated cooling sensors, smart oud dissipators, and CCTV security nodes, smart mosques create a protected, ambient, and pleasant environment for visitors.

Utility for Mosque Management

With a large number of people visiting mosques on a daily basis, it is important for the mosque management to keep a track of internal activities. A smart mosque is enabled with tracking features, mobile apps and dashboards, fire alarms, and smart locks. The Imam can be offered central control for all of the aforementioned features. Digital management and tracking of Islamic events, andarea-adaptation and expansion of mosque for Friday prayers is also an important feature of the smart mosque solution.

success stories 8 - 10 March 2020

Utility for National Planners

Energy-efficient mosques can largely help governments and state-level planning authorities. The smart mosque solution aligns with the goals of increased energy-saving, digital transformation, and improved living standards stipulated within Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Use of data related to water and energy consumption can help in better planning and decision-making. A dedicated data-center across Smart Mosque Operation Center (SMOC) can help in storing, processing, and retrieving data pertaining to smart mosques.

AEC’s smart mosque solution has an edge over other technologies used across mosques. It is a one-of-its-kind, 360-degree solution that encapsulates a multi-tier model for digitalization.Furthermore, AEC provides a macro-level solution that touches all the major challenges related to energy, security, and mosque management. Mosques are required to resort to multiple vendors for different technologies such as cooling equipment, CCTV, smart doors, and data collation. AEC provides a one-stop-solution to all such needs of mosques by being a manufacturer as well as a system-integra-tor for smart mosque solution.

Objectives:

AEC’s smart mosque solution aims to provide a nation-wide solution for the Saudi Arabian government to generate utility for mosque visitors, save energy, and have a central control center. Mosques in the Kingdom cut through urban and rural barriers, and the pervasive nature of mosques necessitates a system that can be deployed across all mosques. Furthermore, the solution intends to complement Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 that focuses on fostering digital transformations.

Three main objectives of Smart solution are:

• Providing enhanced experiences to worshippers• Cutting down on the large amount of energy consumed by mosques in the Kingdom• Improving safety and connectivity of mosques

The smart mosque solution was initially employed at one of the largest Mosques in Riyadh. The results from the mosque favored the deployment of this solution across all major Saudi Arabian mosques especially those, which use Centralized AC units. Not only did it invite positive responses from visitors, but also helped in saving formidable amount of energy. The following improvements were achieved;

• 40% reduction in energy costs through the use of AI and IoT sensors• 25% reduction in water wastage• 10% reduction in operating costs

It is estimated that 2.9 Billion SAR can be saved in just 10 years by converting 6,600 medium to large mosques into smart mosques across the Kingdom.
