The UAE has to invest in training its own security pros as it has become a priority in the cyber-crime war.

The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington recently stated that cyber-attacks in the region cost $1 billion dollars a year.

V.P. of Cisco Middle East, Mike Weston said the shortage of professionals would rise to 1.5 million by 2019.

ITSEC's Managing Director, Amir Kolahzadeh stated that 85 percent of UAE residents were online. The UAE is a major target because of its glamour and vision.

As the technology of the UAE grows, so does the potential for a greater increase in cybercrime.
