The UAE Cybersecurity Council has entered into a landmark partnership with QuantumGate to launch the national Crypto Discovery Tool (CDT). Engineered in Abu Dhabi and meticulously customized to the rigorous mandates of the UAE National Cryptography Center, this pioneering solution solidifies the nation’s trajectory toward an ironclad, quantum-safe future.
By integrating deep tech innovation with sovereign defense strategies, this elite collaboration establishes the UAE as a leader in the global race to operationalize large-scale, post-quantum migration frameworks across critical national infrastructure.
Operationalising Strategic Control and Absolute Visibility
At the core of this enterprise-grade deployment is a definitive mandate: organizations cannot defend what they cannot see. The Crypto Discovery Tool empowers critical public and private sector entities with comprehensive, end-to-end visibility across dense and complex digital ecosystems.
By automating the discovery of embedded cryptography and providing an exhaustive inventory of cryptographic assets, the CDT translates macro national ambitions into granular operational readiness. This unparalleled visibility ensures that decision-makers can proactively mitigate cryptographic vulnerabilities long before quantum threats disrupt market stability.
Key Pillars of the National Crypto Discovery Tool
To guarantee continuous protection and regulatory agility, the tool is built upon an advanced, enterprise-focused operational architecture:
- Automated Asset Mapping: Eliminates blind spots by generating an active, real-time map of all hidden and embedded cryptographic infrastructure.
- Agile Risk Management: Provides a structured, risk-aware blueprint to systematically harden legacy encryption and direct migration paths.
- Modular Compliance Engine: Designed to evolve alongside emerging cybersecurity directives, ensuring organizations remain structurally audit-ready.
Continuous Monitoring and Ecosystem Integration
Beyond immediate vulnerability discovery, the CDT introduces sophisticated continuous monitoring capabilities. This persistent oversight feeds cryptographic posture data directly into the UAE’s broader security network via the National Cybersecurity Index platform. By centralizing reporting data, the tool powers the newly established UAE National PQC Index, equipping the Cybersecurity Council with a unified, high-fidelity view of the countryโs defensive posture to drive elite, data-driven decision-making.
His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of Cyber Security for the UAE Government, said: โOur partnership with QuantumGate on the national Crypto Discovery Tool marks a critical step forward in strengthening the UAEโs national cybersecurity posture in the face of emerging quantum threats. As we advance our National Post-Quantum Migration Program, having sovereign capability to discover, assess, and manage cryptographic assets across sectors is essential. By customising this tool to the requirements of the National Cryptography Center, we are equipping the country with the visibility and strategic control needed for a secure and coordinated transition to post-quantum cryptography, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a global leader in cybersecurity innovation.”
Dr. Najwa Aaraj, Chief Executive Officer of QuantumGate, said: โOrganisations cannot defend against risks they cannot account for. With the Crypto Discovery Tool, we have built a solution that brings that risk into full visibility, enabling organisations to act decisively and migrate with confidence. By working closely with the UAE Cyber Security Council, we are helping translate national ambition into operational readiness, ensuring the UAEโs most critical sectors are protected long before quantum threats become reality.โ
Defining the Standard for Global Cybersecurity Leadership
This highly coordinated deployment marks a decisive phase in the alliance between the UAE Cybersecurity Council and QuantumGate. By neutralizing emerging quantum risks ahead of time, the partnership establishes a benchmark for modern corporate and state resilience. Through technical precision and visionary leadership, the UAE secures its digital borders and permanently defines the standard for global excellence in the post-quantum era.
