The Covid-19 has also been rocket fuel propelling the global cybercrime industry to unprecedented levels of activity

After a year that saw one of the most hotly contested local government elections in our young democracy, one thing is clear: citizens are increasingly dependent on the state for protection and essential services. With national elections only a few years away, government needs to urgently shift focus to addressing some of the broader challenges facing our country.

As organisations and governments digitise core processes and introduce new digital channels for remote work, distance learning, e-commerce, customer service and more, threat actors have found a gold mine of opportunity to launch crippling attacks. In the UAE, a National Cybersecurity Strategy was launched in 2019 with the aim of creating a safe and strong cyber infrastructure that keeps citizens and businesses safe. headed up by the head of UAE Cybersecurity aims to strengthen the country’s capacity and improve response times and co-ordination against potential attacks.

In addition, a concerted national awareness campaign that informs citizens and small businesses of common and emerging cyber threats must be implemented with urgency. Such a campaign could follow the template of government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic by providing regular communication about cyber risks and steps citizens can take to protect themselves.
