Situation Analysis
a. Cyber Digital Security
Major challenges facing the country in the area of ICT development include cyber
crime and underutilization of ICTs for strengthening overall national security. There is
no ‘Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT)’, nor electronic authentication
framework. The lack of appropriate legislation and coordination of the activities of
various security arms of government continue to militate against implementation of
effective measures to combat cyber crime. Government intends to address the
formidable privacy, capacity, and content challenges to ensure the potentials are
realized.
