According to a policy brief released recently by the Dubai Competitiveness Office, Dubai was ranked among the top 10 or 20 cities in the world in more than 100 indicators related to safety and security in several internationally renowned competitiveness reports.
The policy brief, titled ‘Safety and Security Competitiveness in Dubai: Why Dubai is listed as one of the World’s Safest Cities,’ presents and analyzes the factors and elements that explain Dubai’s rise to become one of the world’s Safest Cities.
According to the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report, Dubai is the UAE’s largest business city and a major Middle East hub. Dubai used its fundamentals on safety and security to maintain its top rankings in competitiveness and set benchmarks for effectively handling the global COVID-19 crisis.
On the front of digital security, and in the face of rising cyber-attacks around the world, Dubai is leading efforts to ensure protection not only within its physical boundaries, but also digitally. In terms of dedicated cyber security teams and levels of technology used, the emirate is first.
