The UAE has seen a dramatic increase in cyberattacks, now leveraging AI-powered tactics like misinformation, wiper malware, and targeting critical infrastructure amid regional conflict. The country's cybersecurity framework and post-quantum strategy are central to its resilience efforts and shaping a global model.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Security Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face smarter, faster cyberattacks that aim to destroy rather than steal data. Accelerate adopting quantum-safe security and build ties across sectors now or risk losing critical contracts and access.
