The Cyber Security Council<\/a> (CSC) has issued a warning under its weekly \u201cCyber Pulse\u201d awareness campaign on Cyber Security. It stated that around 25 percent of publicly accessible files contain sensitive personal data. Therefore, it urged users to adopt secure practices when sharing files online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the Council highlighted the importance of safe digital behaviour. This is aimed at reducing exposure to cyber risks and threats. It also stressed that encryption and secure account management are essential cybersecurity practices. It noted that protecting files transmitted \u0639\u0628\u0631 the internet helps prevent unauthorised access and supports a safer digital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, the CSC emphasised the need to manage access permissions carefully. It also advised monitoring file usage. It added that between 68 percent and 77 percent of privately shared files may be accessible to unintended users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, the Council stated that cloud storage does not guarantee automatic protection. Therefore, encryption is a critical requirement for safeguarding sensitive information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The CSC also outlined key cybersecurity measures. These include using strong and regularly updated passwords. They also include enabling two-factor authentication. Users are advised to avoid public links for sensitive files and to review privacy settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, it recommended deleting unused files and links. It also advised securing Wi-Fi networks and updating devices and software. Users should review application permissions and use virtual private networks when accessing public networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Council further highlighted the importance of backing up data. It also stressed secure database management on cloud platforms. Overall, it underscored that strengthening cybersecurity awareness at the individual level is essential. Many risks stem from simple actions that can be prevented through basic precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, the \u201cCyber Pulse\u201d campaign, now in its second year, is part of national efforts to enhance cybersecurity awareness. It aims to build a secure digital environment aligned with the UAE\u2019s vision for safe and sustainable digital transformation. Strong Cyber Security<\/a> practices remain essential for protecting users, data, and digital systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Cyber Security Council (CSC) has issued a warning under […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":105176,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1595,9621],"tags":[73],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-105174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","category-emerging-technologies","tag-uae","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cyber-Security.jpg.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
