Cyber teams are working 24/7, coordinating with the relevant authorities to detect and respond to threats, demonstrating the UAE’s readiness to confront any cyberattack.

The Council explained that the attacks involved attempts to target digital systems and technical infrastructure. They included phishing campaigns, efforts to exploit security gaps, and the spread of malware. Additionally, they used artificial intelligence techniques to develop and increase the complexity of attack methods. This shows the ongoing change in the nature of cyber threats aimed at the financial sector worldwide.

The Council noted that the National Cybersecurity System is taking several proactive steps. These steps include continuous monitoring, sharing cyber intelligence, raising preparedness levels, and improving early detection and quick response abilities. These actions protect digital assets and critical systems while keeping financial services reliable.

The Council reiterated its call for all entities to adhere to national cybersecurity controls and policies, strengthen preventative protection measures, continuously update systems, and immediately report any suspicious cyber indicators or activities through official channels.

The UAE has developed strong cybersecurity capabilities thanks to its national systems and strategic partnerships, which allow the country to address increasing threats and improve the security of the digital environment. It also helps keep the financial sector stable and supports the continued operation of essential services, which builds customer confidence.
