Through this collaboration, CSC and Honeywell will work together to enhance cybersecurity readiness by localizing cyber services, advancing capacity-building initiatives, and supporting the development of forward-looking cyber policies aligned with national frameworks.<\/p>\n

The UAE Cyber Security Council (CSC)\u00a0 and Honeywell\u00a0 announced a new collaboration to pursue potential opportunities for the development of advanced cybersecurity programs across the country. The companies announced the collaboration at Make it in the Emirates 2026 and aim to reinforce national efforts to localize cyber resilience capabilities and build a secure, sustainable, and future-ready digital economy.
\nThrough this collaboration, CSC and Honeywell will work together to enhance cybersecurity readiness by localizing cyber services, advancing capacity-building initiatives, and supporting the development of forward-looking cyber policies aligned with national frameworks. They will utilize their combined advanced technologies, which will be implemented at the UAE\u2019s National Security Operations Centre (NSOC), to drive innovative OT cyber solutions aimed at safeguarding critical industrial infrastructure in the UAE.
\nThis initiative reaffirms Honeywell\u2019s commitment to enhancing the UAE\u2019s cybersecurity capabilities. Through its local Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, the company will provide training, advanced cybersecurity solutions, and support key sectors such as energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure.
\n\u201cThis collaboration reflects the Cyber Security Council\u2019s commitment to continuing and strengthening cooperation with leading global technology companies to enhance cyber resilience, develop local expertise, and ensure the UAE maintains its leadership at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation.\u201d
\n\u2013 His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity, UAE Government
\nHis Excellency also added: \u201cIn an increasingly interconnected and digital world, strengthening cybersecurity capabilities is essential to protect national infrastructure and enable sustainable economic growth. As sectors in the UAE become more interconnected and the convergence between information technology and operational technology accelerates, the need to safeguard critical industrial infrastructure from escalating cyber threats becomes more pressing.\u201d
\n\u201cOur collaboration with the Cyber Security Council reinforces Honeywell\u2019s commitment to supporting the UAE\u2019s industrial and digital transformation priorities. By combining our global cybersecurity expertise with strong local capabilities, we are helping organizations across critical sectors enhance resilience, protect industrial operations, and build the skills needed to counter evolving cyber threats.\u201d
\n\u2013 Uygar Doyuran, Vice President and General Manager, Honeywell Process Automation in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa
\nHoneywell continues to play a key role in advancing industrial cybersecurity across the Middle East by delivering localized solutions that enable organizations to address evolving threats. Honeywell\u2019s latest 2025 Cyber Threat Report documented a 46% increase in ransomware extortion incidents globally during the most recent reporting period, while 55% of self-reported cybersecurity incidents in 2024 were direct attacks on operational technology.
\nLeveraging intelligence derived from cybersecurity solutions that have analyzed more than 253 billion records and scanned over 79 million files[1], Honeywell will collaborate with CSC to support UAE organizations in strengthening operational resilience, protecting critical environments, and responding effectively to an increasingly complex and evolving threat landscape.<\/p>\n
