Cyber security<\/a> took centre stage as Sharjah Cyber Security Centre (SCSC), an affiliate of the Sharjah Digital Department<\/a>, organised the \u201cSharjah Cyber Shield\u201d forum. The event brought together senior government officials and experts in cyber security, information technology, and strategic planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The forum served as a strategic platform to align perspectives and exchange expertise among government entities and specialised partners. Moreover, it highlighted the latest global trends and best practices in cyber security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discussions emphasised that cyber security is a fundamental pillar for successful digital transformation. In addition, it supports the sustainability of government services. It also acts as a key enabler in protecting the emirate\u2019s digital infrastructure and enhancing system reliability. As a result, it helps reinforce public trust in the government\u2019s digital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agenda sessions explored the role of SCSC in safeguarding the emirate\u2019s digital infrastructure. They also provided an overview of Sharjah\u2019s cyber security strategy and its Cyber Security Operations Centre. Furthermore, key focus areas included compliance and governance, cyber resilience, and cyber media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The forum concluded with SCSC recognising several entities and partners for their contributions. These efforts have helped advance cyber security and support a secure and sustainable digital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eng. Abdelnasir Obaid Bukhatir, Director of Sharjah Cyber Security Centre, stated that cyber security is no longer just a technical support function. Instead, it is now a core strategic pillar. He noted that it ensures business continuity, sustains government services, and safeguards national and development gains in the digital era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He added that SCSC is developing an integrated institutional model. This model is based on smart governance, cyber resilience, readiness, and seamless integration across government entities. Consequently, the centre is shifting from a reactive approach to a proactive model. This approach anticipates risks and mitigates them before they emerge, strengthening the resilience and future readiness of digital government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He further highlighted that the forum reflects Sharjah\u2019s direction toward building a leading regional model. This model is based on unified government efforts, knowledge exchange, and the adoption of advanced global technologies. Ultimately, these efforts enhance the emirate\u2019s competitiveness and reinforce its position as a secure and trusted digital environment driven by cyber security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cyber security took centre stage as Sharjah Cyber Security Centre […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":105125,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9617],"tags":[73],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-105123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","tag-uae","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Sharjah-Advances_English-copy-23.jpg.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":105124,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105123\/revisions\/105124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105123"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=105123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
