du Tech’s National Hypercloud becomes first cloud platform to receive UAE Cybersecurity Council certification
du Tech achieved cybersecurity endorsement for Oracle Alloy-powered platform, positioning UAE as regional leader in secure cloud infrastructure
du, the leading telecom and digital services provider, today announced the official certification and endorsement of du Tech’s National Hypercloud by the UAE Cybersecurity Council. The certification establishes du Tech's Oracle Alloy-powered platform as the first compliant, secure, and sovereign cloud infrastructure approved for both public and private sector deployment across the UAE.
The certification validates that the National Hypercloud meets the UAE's most stringent national security standards for data residency and protection, effectively addressing the critical "trust barrier" that has historically limited cloud adoption among government entities and critical infrastructure organizations. This milestone represents a convergence of du Tech's local expertise, Oracle's world-class hyperscale technology, and the UAE government's commitment to digital sovereignty.
Jasim Al Awadi, CICTO at du Tech said: "The UAE Cybersecurity Council certification for our National Hypercloud platform represents our commitment to UAE's digital sovereignty and cybersecurity leadership. We aim to remove barriers to cloud adoption by establishing a new gold standard for secure, sovereign cloud infrastructure. It also positions du Tech as the primary strategic partner for the UAE's broader digital enablement and cybersecurity strategy while maintaining global connectivity and innovation standards".
His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Hamad Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for UAE Government, affirmed that this step comes within the framework of the Cybersecurity Council’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s digital sovereignty and solidify its leadership in the field of cybersecurity. This aimed at addressing the challenges associated with adopting cloud computing systems and establishing new standards for secure and sovereign cloud infrastructure, enabling digital transformation, and supporting the national cybersecurity ecosystem.
He added that these efforts ensure the maintenance of the highest standards of innovation and global connectivity, enhance the country’s ability to keep pace with global technological advancements, and guarantee the protection of national data and the safeguarding of vital interests. Furthermore, reinforce the country’s position as a leading destination for technology and innovation, while strengthening international confidence in its digital infrastructure.
The endorsement comes at a critical juncture as organizations across healthcare, finance, government, and critical infrastructure sectors increasingly seek cloud solutions that can deliver enterprise-grade capabilities without compromising on security or regulatory compliance. du Tech’s National Hypercloud platform addresses these requirements by providing a locally-operated, internationally-standardized cloud environment that maintains complete alignment with UAE cybersecurity frameworks.
Through its strategic partnership with Oracle, du Tech has combined hyperscale-class cloud capabilities with the security assurance of local operation within UAE borders. The platform's architecture ensures complete data residency while maintaining the performance, scalability, and innovation capabilities that organizations require for digital transformation initiatives.

Abu Dhabi – April 2026
As part of the weekly awareness campaign of the “Cyber Pulse” initiative, the Cyber Security Council emphasized the importance of digital identity, noting that it is one of the most valuable assets owned by individuals and organizations. The Council highlighted that nearly 97% of cyberattacks target passwords, while around 40% of social media users worldwide have either been compromised or have unintentionally shared personal data. It further warned that the consequences of a digital identity breach extend beyond data loss to include identity theft, fraud, financial losses, and negative impacts on personal and professional reputation. During the first half of the year, indicators also showed a significant increase of 32% in cyberattacks targeting digital identities, amid the growing reliance on digital services and smart applications. To strengthen protection, users are advised not to share sensitive personal information, to use strong and complex passwords, and to enable multi-factor authentication. These steps constitute the first line of defense against growing threats.

Abu Dhabi – April 2026
As part of the weekly awareness campaign of the “Cyber Pulse” initiative, the Cyber Security Council noted that cyber threats have become increasingly complex and widespread, driven by the growing reliance on the internet in various aspects of daily life. More than 750,000 browsing sessions are recorded daily, reflecting the vast scale of digital activity. Each browsing session represents an opportunity for targeting users through malware or fraudulent webpages, especially given the reliance on the internet for financial transactions, government services, and social communication. The Council affirmed that browser security technologies serve as a technical shield that protects users while browsing. These technologies include encryption, isolation, and preventive policies designed to prevent breaches, data leakage, and unauthorized tracking. Key guidelines to enhance browsing security include verifying links before clicking, regularly updating browsers, and avoiding downloads from untrusted sources.

Abu Dhabi – April 2026
As part of the weekly awareness campaign of the “Cyber Pulse” initiative, the Cyber Security Council stressed the importance of regular inspection and cleaning of electronic devices such as mobile phones and personal tablets, noting that these practices can reduce cyber incidents by up to 30%. The Council explained that the accumulation of unnecessary files and data makes it easier for malicious software to infiltrate devices, thereby increasing cyber risks and exposing users to potential data loss or privacy breaches. Key signs that a device may require cleaning include slow performance, unusual messages or recurring errors, full storage capacity, and the presence of unknown or unused applications. Therefore, it is important to adopt a simple digital cleaning routine that can significantly enhance device security. This routine includes using trusted security software, deleting unnecessary files and applications, and regularly updating operating systems and software to address vulnerabilities and enhance performance.
