More than 800,000 cyberattacks have been recorded daily in recent months.
The UAE Cyber Security Council (CSC), in collaboration with its national strategic cybersecurity partner CPX Holding, has announced the launch of the “UAE Cyber Factory” to strengthen the country’s digital leadership and reinforce its cyber sovereignty.
As cyber threats continue to grow in scale and complexity, the initiative aims to enhance the nation’s ability to anticipate, detect, and respond to increasingly sophisticated attacks targeting both institutions and individuals.
According to the UAE Cyber Security Council, more than 800,000 cyberattacks have been recorded daily in recent months, highlighting the urgent need to build stronger and more adaptive defences to protect national infrastructure and maintain public trust.
Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cyber Security for the UAE Government, said the launch of the UAE Cyber Factory marks a new phase of leadership, positioning the UAE as a global hub for advanced cybersecurity and a digital force shaping the future of the industry.
“In the face of rising global challenges, the UAE stands as a leading model that not only protects but also innovates and leads by developing advanced technologies capable of effectively detecting, preventing, and deterring cyber threats,” he added.
The UAE Cyber Factory will design, build, and scale next-generation cybersecurity capabilities through advanced programmes, technologies, and AI-powered systems, enabling the country to respond to rapidly evolving cyber threats with greater speed and precision.
The initiative will also function as a fully sovereign, integrated ecosystem, giving the nation end-to-end ownership of its cybersecurity capabilities, strengthening digital independence, and enhancing its ability to proactively counter threats.
Through this project, the Cyber Security Council (CSC) and CPX aim to drive a fundamental transformation in the UAE’s cybersecurity landscape, in line with the country’s ambition to locally design, develop, and produce globally competitive cybersecurity solutions.
Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX, said the UAE Cyber Factory represents a major step toward a sovereign, future-ready cybersecurity ecosystem, bringing together local talent, advanced engineering, and innovation developed within the UAE.
“By enabling end-to-end capabilities and strengthening national ownership of digital defences, it will help create a secure and resilient environment for government entities, businesses, and citizens,” he added.
