The government sector in the UAE and MENA is a cornerstone of regional development, driving strategic transformation across infrastructure, digital services, sustainability, and national security. With initiatives such as Operation 300bn, the UAE aims to increase its industrial contribution to GDP from AED 133 billion to AED 300 billion by 2031, while embracing Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and future-ready governance models. From smart cities and e-government platforms to AI-driven public services, the sector is rapidly evolving, and so are its cybersecurity challenges.

As governments digitise citizen services, manage critical infrastructure, and adopt cloud and AI technologies, they face growing threats to data sovereignty, operational continuity, and public trust.
