Cyber Incident Response Framework
The Cyber Incident Response Framework defines the national approach to preparing for, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyber incidents. It establishes governance, alert schemas, reporting requirements, and life-cycle management to ensure coordinated response, minimise impact, and safeguard the stability and security of UAE cyberspace.
The Cyber Security Council has developed this framework to establish a national incident management capability and defining how the UAE will prepare for, protect against, detect, respond to, recover from, and continuously learn from significant cyber incidents; aligned with the UAE’s national priority to be a global leader in cyber security, and enhance the security posture of organisations and individuals within the UAE.
