Abstract
The study explores the UAE’s legal framework for the protection of digital applications, examining their compatibility with criminal policy, judicial assessment, and government role. The investigation intricately examines the multifaceted aspects of this protection, including its inherent connection with criminal policy, the scope of judicial discretion regarding electronic evidence, and the pivotal role played by the UAE government in upholding these protective
measures. It delineates, assesses practical application, and identifies enforcement entities. The study compares legal systems in Anglo-Saxon countries such as the UK and the USA, as well as in Latin countries such as France and Egypt. This study aims to endeavor to unearth nuanced findings and insightful observations and to strengthen measures to protect digital applications by studying technical aspects, legal implications, and criminal policy implications, and contributing to ongoing discourse on the protection of digital applications. Furthermore, it extends its scope beyond the mere technicalities, suggesting significant recommendations
at the end, for the protection of digital applications with the legal spectrum.

Keywords: Digital applications, Criminal protection, Anglo-Saxon legal systems, Latin legal systems.
