"Cyber crime is not a serious threat here. In fact, the UAE is one of the countries least affected by this mode of crime.
"Nevertheless, security agencies need to constantly hone their skills and be prepared as a preventive measure," Major General Ahmad Nasser Al Raisi, General Director of the Central Operations of Abu Dhabi police, said.
Police are organising a conference to discuss measures to combat cyber crime, he announced yesterday, at a press conference.
The third international conference on cyber crime will begin on Tuesday under the patronage of General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.
The conference is hosted in association with the Institute of Judicial Training and Studies, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and Microsoft Corporation.
Fighting crime
Al Raisi said the conference is in line with the Abu Dhabi government's e-governance strategy which aims to place Abu Dhabi among the top five governments in the world as well as the police's strategy to fight all forms of crime and maintain security and stability for its residents.
Dr Mohammad Mahmoud Al Kamali, Director-General of the Institute of Judicial Training and Studies, said what distinguishes the conference is that it is jointly organised by judicial, legal and law enforcement agencies.
