Toady is a very special day , I moved to Dubai exactly one year ago today. (2014)
And today I was awarded by the Arab Emirates Computer Emergency Response Team for my contributions in the UAE Cybersecurity community.
The award was given to me right after my Workshop which was organized by the Telecommunications Regularity Authority (TRA) and the Central Bank of UAE, where I had all bank representatives present.
