The United Arab Emirates government recognizes a key challenge: While growth in the information technology space brings opportunities for innovation and global economic leadership, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving. In response, the nation has developed comprehensive cybersecurity requirements in its Information Assurance Regulation, which promotes a risk-based lifecycle approach for systematically identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks to critical infrastructure and services.
