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 council launched the national programme to ensure the highest levels of protection and security for vital national infrastructure in all sectors, including energy, telecommunications and defence.

The partnership is due to the major importance of this sector as a primary cybersecurity line of defence.

"This is a great opportunity for the UAE to embrace innovative ways to enhance our cybersecurity across our critical infrastructure," said Dr. Mohamed Hamad Al Kuwaiti, NCSC director. "We look forward to expanding this programme to get our local talent engaged and participating in future bounties."
