# UAE Council Advances Cyber Resilience

On October 2, 2026, the UAE Cybersecurity Council and Veeam announced a partnership to support the Council’s Centre of Excellence framework. Planned activities include cybersecurity training and certifications, technical workshops, simulations, recovery exercises, and trusted-data practices for public- and private-sector organizations. The announcement identifies no solicitation, contract award, contract value, or procurement contact, so it signals a potential area of future work rather than an active buying opportunity.

- The partnership highlights potential demand for cybersecurity workforce development, cyber-recovery capabilities, resilience exercises, and trusted-data expertise in the UAE.
- Firms offering relevant training, certification, workshop, simulation, or recovery services can assess how their capabilities align with the Centre of Excellence framework.
- Because no procurement is announced, businesses should treat this as market intelligence and follow Council initiatives for any specific opportunities, as the signal recommends.
