Notes

Il link porta alla scheda sul portale ufficiale del Governo (u.ae); la strategia, lanciata nel giugno 2019, aveva durata triennale; il testo integrale non è stato trovato. Nel febbraio 2025 il Consiglio dei ministri ha approvato una nuova strategia nazionale curata dal Cyber Security Council, di cui non è stato trovato un testo ufficiale raggiungibile: da aggiungere quando disponibile.
