The expanded collaboration comes amid a period of heightened cyber risk globally and across the region, in addition to the longer-term challenge posed by quantum computing.<\/p>\n

The UAE Cyber Security Council (CSC)\u00a0 yesterday signed an agreement with the Advanced Technology Research Council\u2019s (ATRC)\u00a0 and its entities at Make it in the Emirates, that will accelerate the UAE\u2019s transion to quantum safe security and strengthen national resilience against evolving cyber threats.
\nThe contract was consolidated between VentureOne, ATRC\u2019s commercial arm and CSC, to deploy and scale cybersecurity solutions. This will support one of the world\u2019s first coordinated national post-quantum migration plans. The solutions are based on cryptographic libraries developed by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), QuantumGate\u2019s Crypto Discovery Tool (CDT), and the Entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution (EQKD) developed at TII and commercialized by VentureOne, and others.
\nThe expanded collaboration comes amid a period of heightened cyber risk globally and across the region, in addition to the longer-term challenge posed by quantum computing.
\n\u201cPreparing for the impact of quantum computing is a national priority. Strengthening our cryptographic foundations today ensures the long-term security of our digital infrastructure. Through our continued collaboration with TII, VentureOne, and QuantumGate, we are building resilient, future-ready cybersecurity capabilities that strengthen the UAE\u2019s readiness for the quantum era while supporting a secure and coordinated national transition to post-quantum cryptography.\u201d
\n\u2013 H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwai, Head of Cyber Security, UAE Government
\n\u201cThe transition to quantum-safe security cannot wait until quantum threats arrive. The UAE must act now to strengthen the resilience of its digital infrastructure and critical systems. Through this collaboration with the UAE Cyber Security Council, we are accelerating the deployment of sovereign cybersecurity technologies developed within the ATRC ecosystem and supporting the UAE\u2019s long-term transition to quantum-resilient security.\u201d
\n\u2013 H.E. Shahab Issa Abu Shahab, Director General, ATRC
\nThe UAE Cyber Security Council will work with QuantumGate to scale deployment of the Crypto Discovery Tool. CDT is an Abu Dhabi-developed platform designed to support cryptographic discovery, inventory management, and vulnerability assessment. Customized to requirements set by the UAE National Cryptography Center, the tool enables organizations to establish a structured migration path toward hardened, quantum-resilient security. This will enable critical public and private sector entities to plan and execute transition to quantum-resilient encryption standards.
\n\u201cCDT provides a data-driven view of cryptographic readiness and exposure across complex environments and enables organizations to migrate with confidence. By working closely with the UAE Cyber Security Council, we are helping translate national ambition into operational readiness and supporting critical sectors as they prepare for the post-quantum era.\u201d
\n\u2013 Dr. Najwa Aaraj, CEO, TII and QuantumGate
\nFollowing a successful pilot, CSC will also deploy VentureOne\u2019s Entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution solution alongside other advanced cryptographic and post-quantum solutions. Built on quantum communication technologies, EQKD uses quantum entanglement to generate highly secure encryption keys, which were used to securely connect data centers at a major Abu Dhabi entity. The technology will be scaled across government and enterprise environments alongside other post-quantum cybersecurity capabilities.
\nAt the core of the UAE\u2019s transition efforts are the national cryptographic libraries, which are developed and stewarded by TII and commercialized by VentureOne as the UAE\u2019s official cryptographic foundation. Designed for integration into widely deployed government and enterprise systems, the libraries include both classical and post-quantum algorithms that support a coordinated, scalable transition to quantum resilient security.
\nTII\u2019s Security Laboratory will also support this work. One of the only facilities in the UAE dedicated to cryptographic compliance testing, it provides validation of cryptographic assets against national regulatory requirements and approved standards, ensuring secure and trusted deployment.
\nIn addition to technology deployment and research collaboration, the initiative includes national readiness programs, workforce training, and awareness initiatives designed to help organizations prepare for the transition to quantum-safe security, aligned with international post-quantum standards including those established by NIST.<\/p>\n
