What is NESA?
The UAE federal authority operates under the Supreme Council for National Security. With a focus on creating a secure collaborative culture at the national and sector level, NESA Dubai is working toward expanding cyber education and increasing cyber security awareness. NESA compliance is mandatory for all participating entities, including cyber security companies in UAE and others that deal with critical national information. Sophisticated hackers do not confine themselves to a specific section of an organization and can attack any part of the business. As a result, organizations with control deficiencies are highly vulnerable to hacking and malware attempts. Therefore, NESA compliance for organizations dealing in critical information can help mitigate the risk and address the lack of security control. Without any defined scope for implementation, CII controllers can effortlessly ensure organization-wide NESA compliance. Its use of latest technology and cyber security strategies enables NESA to implement four levels of monitoring to manage NESA partner compliance across the framework.How Does NESA Function ?
