Sipahnews. Inaugurating an exhibition of new indigenously developed products
Coinciding with the observation of the Research Week, 12 new indigenously developed IT products were put on display at an exhibition of indigenous IT products, which was inaugurated today by the Iranian Defence Minister, Husain Dehqan.
The Defence Minister highlighted the need for indigenization of cyber technologies as well as innovation in the ICT sector. He appreciated the contribution made by Iranian scientists and professionals towards the technological development of Iran.
The Minister praised the organizer of the exhibition, the Electronic Technologies Company of Iran, as one of the leaders in the IT sector in the country and said that indigenization and innovation in the IT sector are the top priorities of the Defence Ministry.
Speaking about one of the new devices, the “Secure Mobile”, he said this new phone ensures privacy and security of the user against tapping of conversations.
Two other devices produced by Iranian companies, namely the “GPS Locator” and the “Laser Information Transmitter”, were presented and are indicative of the development of an indigenous IT base and security design. He also mentioned four other products—a cyber-threats identification tool, an accelerated high-capacity firewall, a firewall for application software, and a security operations centre—as important innovations to protect the organizational networks from hacking, phishing and piracy. Displaying an indigenously developed industrial control device, he said that it will serve the common needs of the defence and non-defence industries by operating a system of supervision and control for the security of the industrial infrastructure of the country.
He further declared that more than 30 companies were participating in the exhibition and more than 100 new products were put on display, which are indicative of the vast energy and potential existing in the country.
Towards the end, he held out the promise of all-out support from the defence ministry to the companies working in this sector. He emphasized that indigenization and innovation will go a long way to counteract the sanctions, foil the cyber war launched by our enemies, and contribute to the achievement of self-reliance.
