The recent launch of Cyber Node came as a result of DESC’s ongoing efforts to achieve the objectives of Dubai’s Cyber Security Strategy, which further focuses on making a smart cyber society.

These days cybersecurity arises as one of the challenges we aim to include in the comprehensive digital life we aspire for. The Cyber Node initiative is crucial in this regard. We at DDA are proud to join efforts with DESC and envision a future full of digital transformations. Cyber Node is the result of a strategic partnership with an international company like Thales, is now in full willingness to welcome cybersecurity experts, academics, as well as graduates desiring to be part of an advanced cybersecurity hub”.
