Tiffany & Co. and artist Daniel Arsham unveil their latest creative partnership
An avant-garde showcase of fine art and fine jewelry, the limited-edition series consists of 39 handcrafted sculptures, each meticulously finished at Arsham Studio in New York City. Within each patinated bronze vessel lies an unexpected iteration of a Tiffany & Co. icon: the limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace.
Exquisitely crafted in 18k white gold and set with over 1,000 diamonds totaling more than 6 carats, and over 500 tsavorites weighing more than 3 carats, the necklace is a bold reimagination of one of the House's most coveted creations.
Tiffany & Co. and Arsham first joined forces in 2021, united by their shared passion for innovation, craftsmanship, and creative disruption. The new collaboration reimagines the penny into a powerful symbol of luxury and timeless artistry. Inspired by Tiffany's 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States of America and Arsham's own Study of the Eroded Penny (2013), the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel, cast in patinated bronze with polished crystal accents, showcases the artist's signature 'future relic' aesthetic.
'This collaboration has allowed me to push my 'future relics' concept even further, transforming an iconic symbol into something completely new. I'm incredibly grateful to Tiffany & Co. for embracing this vision,' says Daniel Arsham.
Inside the vessel is the exclusive Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace adorned with vibrant green tsavorites that pay homage to Arsham Studio's signature colour. Each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel is presented in a custom Tiffany Blue art-handling crate with metal hardware, while a distinctive Tiffany Blue Box contains dual-branded white gloves for careful handling. – For more on how to look smart and live smarter, follow Emirates Man on Facebook and Instagram

Ransomware on the Rise
Home » Emerging technologies » Cyber Security » Ransomware on the Rise Ransomware attacks in the Emirates are escalating, and while the region has cutting-edge digital infrastructure, it is now being tested by a wave of increasingly sophisticated cybercrime. According to the UAE Cybersecurity Council, ransomware incidents surged by 32% in 2024 compared to the previous year. Financial institutions, energy companies, and healthcare providers were among the most frequently targeted, as threat actors capitalized on the region's digital transformation. This isn't just a local concern. Globally, ransomware is evolving from blunt-force encryption to more insidious, double-extortion models, stealing sensitive data before locking systems, and threatening to release it publicly unless ransoms are paid. In the UAE, where government trust and corporate reputation are paramount, the stakes are exponentially higher. The Anatomy of a Threat The UAE's ransomware landscape is shaped by global crime syndicates that now operate like tech startups, professional, agile, and productized. Groups such as LockBit, Qilin, Flocker, and DarkVault are some of the main perpetrators operating in the region, according to These groups often use ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) models to scale operations without getting their digital hands dirty. In 2024 alone, 34 ransomware incidents were recorded in UAE financial institutions, up from 27 in 2023, as highlighted by ZCyberSecurity's UAE Threat Report. The attackers used phishing emails, unpatched software, and increasingly social engineering tactics powered by AI. Notably, a ransomware attack on Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai encrypted over 60 GB of sensitive patient data, placing immense pressure on healthcare regulators to reinforce digital defenses, as reported in CentralEyes' breach analysis. Why the UAE Is a Prime Target The UAE's hyper-digital economy is both a strength and a soft spot. With aggressive investment in smart cities, fintech, and AI-driven public services, the attack surface has expanded dramatically. The country's economic diversity and digital-first culture present a high-reward scenario for threat actors. Additionally, the UAE's reputation on the global innovation stage makes its digital vulnerabilities headline-worthy. Cybercriminals are keenly aware that breaches here have the potential to make international news, raising pressure on victims to pay ransoms quickly and quietly. To Pay or Not to Pay? A particularly troubling statistic comes from Nearly 50% of UAE-based organizations impacted by ransomware chose to pay the ransom in 2024. This is significantly higher than the global average and signals a dangerous precedent. Paying ransoms might offer a short-term solution, but experts warn that it invites repeat attacks and funds future criminal operations. Worse yet, ransom payments don't guarantee full data recovery, a reality many UAE businesses have painfully learned. Shifting from Reaction to Prevention Despite the spike in attacks, the UAE is not standing still. The government has deployed AI-powered defense systems capable of detecting and neutralizing up to 200,000 attacks per day on critical infrastructure. The UAE Cybersecurity Council has also intensified its public-private sector collaboration, including partnerships with GISEC, Dubai Police, and major cloud providers. Cybersecurity regulations have evolved as well, requiring mandatory breach reporting and encouraging the use of 'zero trust'. While large enterprises and government entities have fortified their defenses, SMEs remain vulnerable. Many lack dedicated cybersecurity teams or even basic security hygiene. This makes them low-hanging fruit for attackers using automated tools to scan for weaknesses. Moreover, despite rising awareness, cyber insurance uptake remains low, and many organizations are unclear on whether they're even covered in the event of a ransomware attack. With threat actors evolving faster than policies, regulatory bodies are now pushing for more transparency and minimum security standards across sectors.
