Ghana’s Communications and Digitalisation Minister, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, officially launched the country’s National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (NCPS).
Details
The policy aims to build a resilient digital ecosystem, secure digital infrastructure, develop national capacity, deter cybercrime, and strengthen cooperation.
It was created per the International Telecommunication Union’s Global Cybersecurity Agenda guideline for cybersecurity development.
It is based on five pillars: Legal Measures, Technical Measures, Organisational Measures, Capacity Building, and Cooperation.
What They’re Saying
“Our world today has changed, with digitalisation presenting both opportunities and risks to individuals, businesses, societies, and nations.
The growing dependency on networks and digital systems for socio-economic development has attracted the attention of malicious actors, who seek to undermine the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these infrastructures,” Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful stated.
Between The Lines
The Ghana Cyber Security Authority (CSA) will lead the implementation of the policy and will involve both the public and private sectors.
