UAE advances national readiness for the future quantum threats

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.
