Cybersecurity

This initiative is designed to enhance security and combat potential fraud associated with shared links.

The main objective of this initiative is to gather essential data for evaluating existing cyber skills and fostering a skilled workforce, in line with Sharjah's vision of becoming one of the most digitally secure emirates in the region.
