Dubai Hub London aims to strengthen ties between Dubai and the UK and create new opportunities for investment. London was selected for the first hub due to its global financial status and access to a broad investor base seeking to tap into Dubai's growing market.
Dubai's flexible regulatory framework, advanced infrastructure, and strategic global location have positioned it as a top investment destination. The emirate retained its number one global ranking for foreign direct investment attraction for the fourth consecutive year in 2024, according to the Financial Times' fDi Markets.

Why one Romanian expat wants to teach her twins about 'investment diversification schemes'
Nicoleta Remmlinger has been in the UAE for about a decade; she currently calls Dubai home. The 38-year-old Romanian is the director and board member at credit risk and analytics consultancy company 4most UAE. Working in the world of finance has helped her shape her own personality financial reality, understanding that to her, money, whether professionally or privately, is 'work', also shaped by a childhood where money was to be saved and never enjoyed. If you had to write a letter to money, what would you say? I wish I had understood from an early age that you take many forms beyond just cash – whether as credit for a home, a credit card for purchases, or investments that grow over time. Recognising these different forms can profoundly shape our financial decisions and opportunities. I also wish I had known sooner that a good credit history is a key to a better life, opening doors to stability and financial freedom. Lastly, while you are earned to be spent, it is just as important to save. Striking the right balance between spending and saving can ensure a stable and secure future. How would you describe your relationship to money? Growing up in a village, money was always seen as cash, meticulously counted by my mom. This tangible presence of money gave me a sense of safety, peace of mind, and stability. It was empowering and motivated me to excel in both school and my professional environment. However, there was a time when this sense of security was challenged. Between jobs, I felt a wave of uncertainty and fear. The thought of not being able to cover my expenses was daunting, especially since I was seven months pregnant with twins. This experience taught me the importance of financial planning and the need to adapt to changing circumstances. How do you think this relationship was formed? Through the hard work my parents did to enable me to have a good education and the opportunities in life they didn't have. What good or bad lessons about money management did you learn from your mother? Good: assessing savings, sometimes daily! Bad: money was spent for necessities and not often for recreation. There was no 'enjoying the fruits of hard work' by allowing yourself or your family the chance to spend the money on a vacation. Who do you speak to about money matters and is it something you consider 'taboo'? To my kids, to my family – as well as in different women and students' forums. To me, money is thankfully not a taboo subject anymore. Who has taught you the most about financial management? Perhaps my mom first, and then myself from living abroad from my early 20's with very limited available cash. What do you think has been the most profound experience you've had so far in relation to money, good or bad, and what has it taught you since? There was a time when I found myself between jobs, facing rising expenses and the need to reassess my financial situation. It was a period that demanded introspection and discipline. I remember sitting at the table, meticulously reviewing my spending over the past months and years. It was a daunting task, but necessary to define a new financial plan. I had to make some tough decisions – cutting down on unnecessary expenses and setting clear savings targets. It was humbling to pay close attention to even a 1 AED difference in grocery prices. Though difficult, this journey was both eye-opening and empowering. It taught me the value of financial planning and the importance of being mindful of my spending habits. Most importantly, it reinforced the idea that with determination and careful planning, we can overcome financial challenges and emerge stronger on the other side. How do you think living in the UAE has changed your relationship with and perception of money? When living in a foreign country, keeping a close eye on your credit score is essential. Regularly monitoring it helps maintain financial health and ensures you stay on top of your obligations. Additionally, understanding the credit risk assessment rules that banks apply is crucial – these rules play a significant role in securing a mortgage, a car loan, and everything else needed to build a stable life in a new country. For me, the transition was relatively smooth, as I had previously lived in another foreign country before moving to the UAE. It was simply a matter of adapting to a new environment, learning its rules and laws. Interestingly, since moving to the UAE, my perspective on wealth has shifted. Before, wealth meant being able to afford a nice summer vacation. Here, however, I've come to realise that true wealth is having time for my family and myself. If you could give your child or your younger self one piece of advice about money now what would that be and why? I am committed to teaching my twins about the importance of savings from an early age. I believe it is crucial for them to understand the value of money and the benefits of saving. In addition to traditional saving methods, I also plan to educate them about investment diversification schemes. I want them to grasp how these schemes differ from conventional savings and how they can be advantageous as they grow older. By introducing them to these concepts early on, I aim to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions in the future. What do you value spending money on? Most of the time, travel and "me-time" – spa treatments, massages... I'm a salon addict! What do you consider splashing out on? Luxury retreats. Do you plan your finances long-term, and if so, how? Yes, primarily through real estate investments across different jurisdictions. My background in credit risk has helped – understanding credit risk policies, frameworks, and the significance of an application scorecard has been invaluable. What is your long-term financial goal or dream? Retiring by 60 at the latest and enjoying peaceful moments in different locations, eventually following my kids and, one day, looking after my grandchildren. How much do you save each month? 50–70% of my income. How much do you plan to have by the time you're 65? Enough to live a peaceful life. What is your greatest financial decision – the one you're most proud of or the most profitable? Buying a house in Italy when I was 30 – all on my own, without a single cent from my parents. It's now paying for itself through rent. From a professional perspective, I'm also proud of expanding my company's services in the Middle East, growing from no presence to working with most banks in the UAE and other GCC countries. Buying branded bags.

Tenable expands exposure management platform to secure enterprise AI
Tenable AI Exposure gives organizations unprecedented visibility into and control over the use of widely-adopted generative AI tools like ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot Dubai, UAE – Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced a significant expansion of its market-leading Tenable One platform with the launch of Tenable AI Exposure, a comprehensive solution to see, manage and control the risks introduced by generative AI. Unveiled at Black Hat USA 2025, these new capabilities provide an end-to-end approach that moves beyond discovery to include risk management and policy enforcement for enterprise AI platforms like ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot. As businesses race to adopt generative AI to boost productivity, they are inadvertently creating a new, complex, and often invisible frontier of exposure. Security teams lack visibility into how employees use these powerful tools, which sensitive data might be exposed, and how they could be manipulated by attackers. Tenable now offers a single, unified solution that addresses the entire lifecycle of AI security challenges. 'Simply discovering shadow AI isn't enough. A true exposure management strategy requires an end-to-end solution that lets organizations discover their entire AI footprint, manage the associated risks, and govern its use according to their policies. That's exactly what we are delivering today,' said Steve Vintz, Co-CEO and CFO, Tenable. 'With Tenable AI Exposure, we're giving organizations the visibility and control they need to safely embrace the promise of generative AI without introducing unacceptable risk. This is a critical step in the evolution of exposure management.' With an agentless deployment that provides coverage in minutes, Tenable's unified AI Exposure capabilities deliver: Comprehensive AI Discovery: Unifies insights from Tenable AI Aware, scanning from AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) and continuous monitoring to discover and identify all sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage across the enterprise environment. This provides a deep understanding of user interactions, data flows and activities that might introduce risk. AI Exposure Management and Prioritization: Leverages AI-SPM to help organizations identify, prioritize and manage the risk of AI exposure, including from sensitive data leakage (PII, PCI, PHI), misconfigurations and unsafe integrations with external tools. Governance and Control of AI Usage: Enforces security guardrails and organizational policies to control how AI is used, preventing risky user behaviors and mitigating novel threats such as prompt injections, jailbreaks, and malicious output manipulation. Tenable AI Exposure integrates into the Tenable One platform, providing a unified view of risk across the entire attack surface. With the combination of Tenable AI Aware, AI-SPM and the new governance features, customers will gain comprehensive capabilities to discover, manage and secure enterprise AI usage. Tenable AI Exposure is now available through a private customer preview program. General availability is expected by the end of 2025. Read more in today's blog post here. To see a demo of Tenable AI Exposure at Black Hat USA 2025, please visit Tenable at booth #2440. Also attend a Black Hat session from Tomer Avni, VP of Product Management, titled 'Don't Let AI Divide Your Defenses: Get it Together for the AI Attack Surface,' on August 6 at 11:20am PT in Business Hall Theater A. About Tenable Tenable® is the exposure management company, exposing and closing the cybersecurity gaps that erode business value, reputation and trust. The company's AI-powered exposure management platform radically unifies security visibility, insight and action across the attack surface, equipping modern organizations to protect against attacks from IT infrastructure to cloud environments to critical infrastructure and everywhere in between. By protecting enterprises from security exposure, Tenable reduces business risk for approximately 44,000 customers around the globe.
