Q/ How do you view the Israel-UAE partnership in cyber security?
A/ The I2U2 gives us a platform for communicating with Israel on many issues. From the cyber security point of view, it has brought many partners and entities—government or businesses— that can help us achieve our mission of becoming a global hub for data and technology. The Abraham Accords definitely opens a great opportunity for both Israel and the UAE. It is helping in sharing information on cyber security, and both countries have startups that are bringing a modern, futuristic vision. The governments need to encourage this collaboration.
Q/ What is the UAE’s cyber security strategy?
A/ It focuses on five pillars—national and international collaboration, cyber security, resilience, innovation and building a cyber-smart nation…. The UAE is moving towards digital transformation and that covers all domains, from aviation, transportation, education, oil and gas, health care to many critical infrastructures on which our lives depend. If we transform and move towards digitisation without doing it right, we are taking a very big risk.
