When sharing photos, videos or any type of content on social media, security must be prioritised and a Dubai government entity has developed a tool to ensure data protection.

A senior official from the Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DSEC) advised residents to download and use their RZAM app to safeguard data against vulnerable websites.

Working as an added layer of security, the RZAM app detects any attack on users' browsers, AlBlooshi said,

"When you browse and land on a vulnerable website, it will just block it,” she said.

Despite the growing concerns about cybercrimes across the world, the official assured that Dubai residents’ data is safe and secured.

There are still threats, though, and hackers still target unsuspecting residents in the city.

The official urged residents to be careful against impersonators, phishing attacks or fraudsters claiming to be calling from a bank and seeking an OTP number.
