The country’s cutting-edge digital infrastructure, progressive regulations, and strategic location make it an ideal launchpad for businesses expanding globally.

Organized as a key platform for public-private collaboration, the summit facilitated in-depth discussions on tackling cyber threats, enhancing digital governance, and fostering sustainable tech ecosystems.

Key Highlights from GETS 2025 Summit

1. UAE as a Strategic Cybersecurity Leader

Ned Farhat, Founder & Director of CyberSage emphasized that the UAE geographic and economic significance positions it as a leader in global cybersecurity cooperation.

He added that CyberSage is in talks to establish a regional office in the UAE, offering:

  • AI-powered cyber defense solutions
  • Digital forensics & cyber investigations
  • Expansion across the Middle East

Farhat stressed that cross-border collaboration is essential to combat sophisticated financial crimes and cyber threats.

2. Fintech & Data Protection: Lessons from the UAE

Tim Doorly, Cybersecurity CEO at M-PESA Africa (Africa’s largest digital financial services provider), noted the following:

  • GETS 2025 summit provided critical insights into fintech security and data protection.
  • M-PESA serves 61 million users across 11 African nations and aims to enhance financial inclusion through innovation.
  • the UAE’s regulatory framework serves as a model for Africa’s cybersecurity evolution.

Doorly added that M-PESA will prioritize African expansion before moving into global markets, with cybersecurity remaining a key growth enabler.

3. Post-Quantum Cryptography: UAE at the Forefront

Jan Herfstmez, CTO of Quantum Gate (a leader in advanced encryption), highlighted the below:

  • The UAE is among the first nations (alongside the U.S.) to establish clear post-quantum cryptography (PQC) regulations.

  • Quantum Gate is collaborating with Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII) to develop:
    ✔ Next-gen data security solutions
    ✔ Enterprise-grade encryption asset management

  • The company has introduced a groundbreaking tool for mapping and managing cryptographic assets efficiently.

Why the UAE Stands Out As a Cybersecurity Hub? 

  • Progressive Regulations – Early adoption of post-quantum encryption laws.
  • Public-Private Synergy – Strong collaboration between government and tech firms.
  • Strategic Expansion Hub – Ideal gateway for businesses entering MEA and Asian markets.

GETS 2025 summit reinforced the UAE’s role as a pioneer in emerging tech governance.
As cyber threats evolve, the UAE’s leadership in fintech, encryption, and digital governance sets a global benchmark.
