During the last few months, the UAE Cyber Security Council (CSC) has revealed that the UAE has seen a surge in cyberattacks that have been reported daily to the highest level of more than 200,000. Cyber threats of this magnitude and in such a coordinated manner are mostly directed at the nation’s strategic sectors, such as government institutions, energy infrastructure, financial systems, and healthcare networks, which represent the nation’s most important institutions.
Even though these attacks originate in at least 14 different foreign countries, they do not just attempt to compromise sensitive data, they also aim to disrupt critical infrastructure and disrupt national security in addition to compromising sensitive data. As a result of this growing threat landscape, the CSC has developed a comprehensive and proactive cybersecurity framework that utilises a wide range of cutting-edge global technologies, intelligence sharing protocols, and advanced threat mitigation mechanisms to combat this threat.
As a result of identifying both the source and the perpetrators of these cyber intrusions, UAE authorities were able to swiftly implement countermeasures in order to neutralise threats before they were capable of inflicting widespread damage. A comprehensive defence strategy indicates the country’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its digital sovereignty while protecting its essential assets in an era when cyber warfare is becoming more complex.
