Commvault, a global enterprise leader in data management across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the UAE Cyber Security Council at GITEX Technology Week 2023 in Dubai, according to a press communique.
The UAE Cyber Security Council was formed in 2020 by the Cabinet of the UAE to support the UAE’s ongoing commitment to safer digital transformation.
Regulatory frameworks
The Council is tasked with creating and developing regulatory and legal frameworks that focus on cybersecurity and cybercrime, as well as securing present and upcoming technologies in the region, all in the name of improving the country’s cybersecurity outlook.
The collaboration will help protect UAE data and support government and private sectors with their continued digital transformation journeys. Commvault will support the UAE Cyber Security Council across cloud, both on premise and off premise workloads, whilst providing Risk Visibility on data protection.
Cybersecurity awareness
Dr. Mohammed Al Kuwaiti Head of the Cyber Security Council of the UAE Government said that the cooperation with Commvault falls within the framework of the Council’s keenness to enhance cyber security awareness culture in workplaces.
He stressed the importance of protecting data, developing the skills of work teams in the field of digital safety, and the ability to respond to any challenges related to data and the digital sector.
“The nation has been ahead of the curve for many years by Cyber Security strategy and vision, whilst continuing to grow and develop amid rapid digital transformation and increasing Ransomware threats and cyber challenges both in the UAE and wider region,” commented Yahya Kassab, Senior Director & General Manager–KSA & Gulf, Commvault.
