The UAE Signals Intelligence Agency (SIA)—formerly known as the National Electronic Security Authority (NESA)—is a federal authority that's responsible for enhancing cybersecurity policies and procedures in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It was introduced in June 2014 to oversee the security and resilience of the UAE's critical information infrastructure and to ensure the implementation of effective cybersecurity measures.
The UAE Information Assurance (IA) Regulation (sometimes known as NESA regulatory compliance) is the set of management and technical controls to establish, implement, maintain, and enhance the nation's information security measures. The UAE IA Regulation is developed by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (often abbreviated to TRA) and it is a crucial component of the National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS).
