The UAE Cybersecurity Council and Nozomi Networks announced a strategic collaboration aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity resilience of the UAE\u2019s critical infrastructure and industrial sectors.<\/p>\n

\u200dThe collaboration supports the UAE\u2019s national vision to enhance cyber resilience across operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) environments, providing deeper visibility, advanced threat detection, and intelligence\u2011driven security for critical national assets across energy, utilities, transportation, manufacturing, and smart infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u200dThis collaboration goes beyond a bilateral partnership, extending to the establishment of an Innovation and Excellence Center (CoE) in Abu Dhabi. The two parties intend to collaborate to create a cybersecurity center dedicated to OT and the IoT, serving as a national platform to accelerate innovation, enhance resilience, and strengthen industrial cybersecurity readiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Based on initial plans, the center will also function as a hub for Research and Development (R&D), supporting the development of advanced solutions, IPs, and the publication of high-impact research in industrial cybersecurity domains, and accelerate collaboration with emerging cybersecurity companies and innovators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The center is intended to support the UAE\u2019s ambition to maintain its regional and global leadership in innovation and cyber protection, aligned with secure digital transformation priorities. It will provide vital support to critical infrastructure operators, government entities, academic institutions, startups, and industry partners, helping safeguard national assets in energy, utilities, transportation, manufacturing, and smart infrastructure.<\/p>\n

In November 2020, the UAE Cabinet established the UAE Cyber Security Council to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy and ensure a safe and strong cyber infrastructure, as a part of the UAE vision to strive toward a more secure digital transformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Council, led by the UAE Government\u2019s Head of Cyber Security, aims to contribute to the nation\u2019s legal and regulatory frameworks for cybersecurity and to secure both current and emerging technologies. It is also responsible for building a vibrant ecosystem for cybersecurity across the UAE, driving innovation and stimulating economic growth in cyber through collaboration with industry, academia and international cyber diplomacy. The Council is also responsible for pioneering and implementing awareness and capacity development initiatives across the UAE to enhance safety and security of the UAE populace, in line with the leadership\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n

\u200dAs digital transformation accelerates across the nation\u2019s industrial and smart city ecosystems, OT and IoT environments have become increasingly interconnected and exposed to sophisticated cyber threats. Through this collaboration, the UAE Cybersecurity Council and Nozomi Networks will work together to help organizations strengthen their ability to detect, monitor, and respond to advanced cyber threats targeting cyber\u2011physical systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtecting operational and industrial environments is fundamental to national security, economic continuity, and public safety,\u201d said H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE Government. \u201cPublic\u2011private collaboration plays an essential role in advancing cyber resilience, expanding national visibility, and supporting the secure adoption of emerging technologies across critical sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200d\u201cThe UAE has demonstrated global leadership in advancing national cybersecurity,\u201d said Bachir Moussa, EMEA South Vice President at Nozomi Networks. \u201cWe are honored to collaborate with the UAE Cybersecurity Council to support the protection of cyber\u2011physical systems, share insights on emerging OT and IoT threats, and contribute to initiatives that strengthen national resilience and local cybersecurity expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n
