The UAE Cybersecurity Council announced a major advancement in national post-quantum readiness at CyberQ 2025, which took place in Abu Dhabi on November 26 and 27. The Council confirmed that this progress comes as a result of expanding its collaboration with QuantumGate, the ATRC-backed company with a focus on quantum-safe security. The Council stressed that this next phase marks the UAE's shift from planning to large-scale implementation, accelerating the country's preparedness for future quantum decryption threats across critical sectors.
The Cybersecurity Council and QuantumGate, a subsidiary of VentureOne, will deepen national preparedness by accelerating the UAE's transition toward quantum-safe security. Joint efforts will focus on strengthening the country's ability to anticipate and mitigate risks posed by future quantum decryption capabilities, advancing readiness across priority sectors, and enabling early, methodical steps toward large-scale cryptographic migration. With this shift from strategy to coordinated national implementation, the UAE stands among the first countries globally to operationalize a comprehensive post-quantum strategy.
The next phase of collaboration will focus on translating national strategy into practical, system-wide readiness across three key programs: the National Information Assurance Program, the National Cybersecurity Index Platform, and the National Post-Quantum Migration Program. Through the National Information Assurance Program, the Cybersecurity Council and QuantumGate will strengthen baseline security requirements and improve resilience across public and private sector organizations. Via the National Cybersecurity Index Platform, they will enhance national-level measurement, visibility, and readiness tracking.
