The cooperation is significant in combining the UAE Cyber Securtiy Council's role in advancing a national cybersecurity vision with Group-IB's capabilities. Group-IB has attacker-centric threat intelligence, cybersecurity crime investigation expertise, and prediction-based cybersecurity capabilities.
As part of their joint initiatives, the two sides will pursue the sharing of threat intelligence. Information to be shared includes malicious infrastructure, malware, attack techniques, and indicators of compromise (IoC).
The two sides will also work together on incident response efforts as part of their joint initiatives. In particular, they plan to quickly identify new threats using information on attack infrastructure and jointly explore proactive defense strategies before attacks occur.
In addition, the two sides will jointly pursue technical training and workshops for cybersecurity professionals in the UAE. Through this, they have established a cooperative framework linking threat information sharing, incident response, and workforce training.
The two sides have agreed to cooperate to strengthen the capabilities of cybersecurity professionals and plan to provide specialized technical training, technical workshops, training materials, and joint working groups. The goal is to foster cybersecurity talent in the UAE and enhance practical response capabilities across the digital ecosystem.
The two sides are also considering a plan to establish a UAE Innovation Center of Excellence. The center is expected to serve as a bridge between Group-IB's global cybersecurity expertise and regional threat intelligence and the UAE Cyber Securtiy Council's national cybersecurity vision. However, the scope and activities of the center have not yet been finalized.
Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, head of government cyber security for the UAE government, said the core of the UAE's national cybersecurity vision lies in anticipating threats in advance. He said he hoped to work with Group-IB to share threat information quickly and strengthen response capabilities.
Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB, said that in cybersecurity, more time and resources need to be allocated to attacker-centric intelligence and expanded AI-based attack prediction. He added that the partnership offers an opportunity to apply Group-IB's "Prediction-First" approach to the national cybersecurity environment.
