Dynatrace secures Dubai’s digital future with DESC certification

Dynatrace has taken another significant step in achieving compliance and quality by obtaining DESC certification from the Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC). This underscores our commitment to protecting Dubai's digital infrastructure and supporting its vision for secure, smart, and sustainable cities.

Established by the Government of Dubai, DESC sets rigorous cybersecurity standards to safeguard critical systems, promote secure cloud adoption, and support transformational smart city initiatives. DESC certification confirms that Dynatrace meets and exceeds these standards, giving Dubai government entities confidence to deliver seamless, secure digital services to their citizens.

Overcoming challenges in public sector IT compliance

Dynatrace collaborates closely with public sector organizations in the UAE and worldwide to support government and educational institutions in delivering secure, reliable, and efficient services. Such organizations are obliged to implement adequate controls to ensure the integrity and security of their data. Government agencies are under added pressure; as they continue to digitally transform and their data is distributed across multiple platforms and applications, the complexity of their systems increases. Delivering secure, resilient, and optimized operations within these environments requires a platform that provides actionable insights and intelligent automation from vast amounts of cloud data, all while adhering to stringent cybersecurity requirements.
