Nigeria’s digital economy is expanding with more people, businesses and government institutions moving their activities online.
Alongside this growth is cybersecurity which could determine how far the country’s digital transformation can go. Nigeria cannot build a trusted digital economy on insecure infrastructure.
As more Nigerians rely on digital platforms for banking, shopping, communication, healthcare, government services and business operations, the country is also creating a much larger target for cybercriminals.
Every new digital service, connected device, online account and electronic transaction adds another potential entry point for attackers.
This is why cybersecurity is no longer simply an IT problem but it is becoming a fundamental requirement for the growth and sustainability of Nigeria’s digital economy.
