Supporting Cyber Readiness in the UAE

By Eyas Hawari
VP & MD International Markets

Immersive is honoured to support the UAE Cyber Security Council in this important initiative to strengthen cyber readiness across the UAE. Working in cooperation with the Council, this specialist exercise was designed to help assess preparedness through a realistic cyber crisis simulation, bringing teams together to test response, decision-making, and coordination under pressure.

Built around a scenario involving a disruptive cyberattack on shared government services and critical infrastructure, the exercise challenged participants to evaluate evolving information, respond at speed, maintain essential operations, and coordinate effectively across technical, operational, and leadership functions. It also provided an opportunity to examine current procedures, identify gaps, and support continuous improvement in readiness and resilience.

Immersive contributed specialist expertise in cyber crisis simulation to support the Council’s broader efforts to strengthen preparedness and response capabilities. We are proud to support the UAE Cyber Security Council in this work and to contribute, in a secondary role, to an initiative that reflects the Council’s continued leadership in advancing national cyber resilience.
