The UAE Cybersecurity Council<\/a> has successfully repelled a wave of advanced cyber attacks targeting the country’s vital sectors, according to an official statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Council confirmed that national cyber systems detected and thwarted coordinated cyber attacks aimed at the aviation, energy<\/a>, and education<\/a> sectors. As a result, the country’s critical infrastructure remained secure and unaffected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the Council stated that the attacks were dealt with proactively and immediately. Consequently, intrusion attempts were contained well before attackers could achieve their objectives or disrupt the continuity of vital systems and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Council explained that the attacks involved multiple vectors and techniques. These included attempts to breach systems and digital infrastructure, along with efforts to target accounts and operational data. Moreover, the attackers launched targeted phishing campaigns and tried to exploit users as an entry point into the targeted environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, national cybersecurity teams responded swiftly. As a result, they successfully detected and repelled these malicious activities. Meanwhile, teams also tracked the attack paths and identified associated indicators of compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the relevant authorities took the necessary technical measures to neutralise the threats and prevent their spread. Therefore, the swift and coordinated response to these cyber attacks reflects the UAE’s ongoing commitment to protecting its national digital infrastructure and vital sectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
