The UAE National Cyber Security Council (NCSC) launched on Sunday phase one of the “National Bug Bounty Programme”, which aims to enhance the UAE’s cybersecurity systems, reinforce the country’s leading stature in global competitiveness indexes, as well as engage community members and public and private sector entities in the protection of infrastructure.
The NCSC announced that the programme will initially be piloted by the telecommunications industry, jointly with Etisalat and Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (du) in coordination with the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA).
The initiative aims to promote the culture of cybersecurity and protect the country’s digital transformation and overall achievements in line with the country’s leadership directives.
