The cybersecurity landscape has changed dramatically since the outbreak of the pandemic. Many organizations have embraced the hybrid work model as the new normal, allowing their employees to divide their work time between the office and home.

As a result, the traditional network perimeter has dissolved, leaving organizations more vulnerable to cyber threats, which are becoming not only more frequent but also more sophisticated. MENA organizations are especially vulnerable because of their geopolitical position and importance to the world economy in several key industries, such as the oil industry.

Recently, Los Angeles-based cybersecurity company Resecurity has introduced its Dark Web Monitoring and Threat Intelligence solutions at GITEX 2021, which took place at the Dubai World Trade Center, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

“Resecurity’s mission is to protect enterprises of any size, market vertical and in any geography,” said Ayman Alshobaki, Resecurity’s Business Development Manager for the MENA region. “Resecurity is excited to tap into the fantastic networking and innovative atmosphere at Gitex 2021, allowing us to build new business alliances and accelerate market presence and channel sales”.

The new solutions leverage big data analytics and artificial intelligence to provide visibility into the global threat landscape, helping organizations mitigate risks coming from the darkest corners of the internet, which are commonly referred to as the dark web.

The main defining feature of the dark web is the fact it’s completely invisible to most internet users because it can be accessed only using specialized software, such as Tor, which also provides anonymity, something cybercriminals value deeply.

Equipped with Resecurity’s Dark Web Monitoring solutions, organizations in the MENA region and the rest of the world are much less likely to suffer a costly data breach, whose average cost has reached $4.24 million per incident — the highest in the last 17 years.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
