United Arab Emirates: Cybercrime & Cybersecurity Agencies

In United Arab Emirates, technical cyber incidents go to the national CERT below. We could not confirm a dedicated police cybercrime unit.

National CERT / cybersecurity authority

aeCERT (UAE Computer Emergency Response Team)

Part of: Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA)

Official website

Notes

aeCERT confirmed via FIRST.org (its own site had an expired certificate when checked); no federal or Dubai police cybercrime unit could be confirmed on an official page, and FIRST also lists a separate MOI-CERT under the Ministry of Interior.
The UAE portal lists the Ministry of Interior eCrimes platform (MoI UAE app), Dubai Police eCrime and Abu Dhabi Police Aman, but no named federal police cybercrime unit; moi.gov.ae was unreachable.
