Dubai Launches 'ethaq plus' for Digital Security

Dubai is taking digital security to the next level with the introduction of the 'ethaq plus' platform, which offers globally recognized digital certificates to government institutions, the private sector, and individuals alike. Created by the Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), the platform aims to enable secure and legally binding transactions, as well as facilitate safe data management and authentication in cyberspace.

What is 'ethaq plus'?

'ethaq plus' is a modern digital authentication and trust platform that allows the secure execution of various transactions and the issuance of digital certificates. These certificates will be globally recognized and ensure that documents and transactions meet the strictest international standards. The certificates will be available to government institutions, companies, and individuals, ensuring the authenticity, integrity, and protection of data.

Outstanding benefits for the private sector

For the private sector, 'ethaq plus' offers numerous advantages:

Secure websites: Through the platform, companies can obtain reliable digital certificates that guarantee the security of their websites.

Fast and efficient authentication: Since the authentication process takes place locally within the UAE, turnaround time is significantly reduced, providing customers with faster and more efficient service.

Internal document management: Companies are given the opportunity to certify their internal transactions and documents with digital certificates, thus ensuring their authenticity and protection.

Previously, such certificates were mostly obtained from international providers, which was not only time-consuming but also costly. Through the 'ethaq plus' platform, companies can now acquire them locally in Dubai, providing faster and cheaper access to a new level of digital security.

Available for government and individuals too

'ethaq plus' is not limited to the private sector alone. It opens a new era of digital authentication for government institutions as well. Dubai's goal is to play a leading role in cybersecurity and information protection by employing the most advanced technologies.

Individuals can also access the platform, making their personal document authentication and important transactions more secure as well. For example, in real estate procedures, contract signings, or even financial transactions, certificates will be available to ensure the safety and authenticity of the data.

Cybersecurity comes first

Dubai's Electronic Security Center (DESC) has been working since 2014 to make the UAE a cybersecurity center and successfully protect information from external threats. The introduction of 'ethaq plus' is another step in this direction, strengthening Dubai's commitment to digital security and data privacy.

With the creation of the platform, the goal is to ensure guaranteed security in every digital transaction, regardless of whether it is initiated by a state body, a large corporation, or an individual.

Summary

The emergence of 'ethaq plus' marks a new era in Dubai's digital security strategy. The platform makes the most modern digital authentication and secure transactions available not only to local but also global business players. Whether it is corporate data protection, government document authentication, or individuals' financial transactions, 'ethaq plus' ensures the highest level of data security and authenticity.

Dubai proves once more that it pioneers innovation and sets high standards in security and reliability worldwide. The 'ethaq plus' platform redefines the authenticity and security of digital transactions, thereby creating a more dependable and faster digital ecosystem.
