The UAE National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS) aims to secure national information and communications across the UAE. NCSS is based on five focus areas:

Prepare and prevent: Aims to raise the minimum protection level of cyber assets and ensure compliance to the UAE’s cyber security standards

Respond and recover: Aims to develop incident and response management capabilities and improve threat neutralisation capabilities

Build national capability: Aims to inform and educate the public and workforce about cyber security and promote research in the field

Foster collaboration: Aims to collaborate with international bodies to catalyse cyber security efforts nationally and internationally

Provide national leadership: Aims to develop initiatives to guide the implementation of the National Cyber Security strategy.

Policies to handle cyber security issues:

The National Information Assurance Framework (NIAF)

The framework aims to ensure a minimum level of information assurance (IA) capabilities within all the UAE’s entities and establish a common approach that allows them to interact with each other with a sector and national perspective.

Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Policy

The purpose of this policy is to identify and develop the necessary application programmes to protect critical information infrastructure. The policy sets out key stages of applying risk reduction to critical information infrastructure.
