The UAE Cyber Security Council has partnered with Honeywell to strengthen national cyber resilience, with a focus on protecting critical infrastructure and advancing industrial cybersecurity capabilities.
The collaboration is expected to support the development of cybersecurity frameworks, threat monitoring capabilities, and operational technology (OT) protection across strategic sectors. As industrial systems become increasingly connected, securing critical infrastructure such as energy, transportation, and manufacturing has become a national priority.
Honeywell’s expertise in industrial automation and cybersecurity will support efforts to improve resilience against evolving cyber threats targeting operational environments. The partnership reflects growing recognition that traditional IT security approaches are no longer sufficient for protecting digitally connected industrial systems.
The initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader strategy to strengthen digital infrastructure security while supporting the rapid adoption of smart technologies and connected systems across the economy.
As cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure continue to grow globally, governments are increasingly investing in partnerships that combine local policy leadership with international technical expertise.
The effectiveness of the collaboration will depend on implementation, sector adoption, and the ability to translate strategy into measurable improvements in cyber readiness and incident response.
