Increasing Cyberattacks
A recent report highlights a sharp increase in cyberattacks targeting African businesses, ranging from ransomware to phishing scams. Many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are vulnerable due to limited awareness and weak security systems.
Government & Private Response
Governments are now collaborating with ICT experts to strengthen national cyber defense strategies. Private firms are also investing heavily in training programs for staff and upgrading cloud security systems.
Call to Action
Experts stress that cybersecurity should be treated as a national priority. With the continent’s digital economy expected to grow by 50% in the next five years, protecting sensitive data and building resilience against cybercrime will be essential.
