Cybersecurity strategy focuses on building tech, skills, capacity: Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti
With even ChatGPT being used in ransomware attacks, the UAE is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring cybersecurity in the aviation sector, the country’s cybersecurity chief said at the Aviation Mobility Conference on the inaugural day of the 18th Dubai Airshow on Monday.
Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, head of cybersecurity for the UAE Government, said in his keynote speech that ChatGPT is used not “just in drafting an email or spams or even phishing emails, but even in writing some of the scripts and decoding some of the things that we saw and we investigated in a ransomware level”.
He said the country has put in place certifications, standards, legislations policies and procedures to ensure cybersecurity in all sectors.
Dr Al Kuwaiti also called for international cooperation and information sharing especially in the face of cyber threats like ransomware and the misuse of technologies such as ChatGPT.
