From Adanna Nnamani, Abuja
As part of efforts to guarantee data privacy and cyber safety, the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) is collaborating with the Attorneys General Alliance Africa (AGA | Africa) to create a standardised cyber insurance policy on Internet governance that will lead to a decrease in cybercrime in the country.
NCC Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) Prof Umar Danbatta disclosed this at a two-day Symposium on Internet Governance and Safeguarding the Cyberspace held in Abuja on Monday.
Danbatta said the Internet with all its opportunities has created a complex and dynamic cyberspace. He said there was therefore the need to prevent malicious actors and to reinforce protective facilities to curb threats to cybersecurity.
He expressed hopes that at the end, the Symposium would deliver how robust cybersecurity strategies, policies and laws
can strengthen security and operational resilience for government and for businesses in the struggle for digital transformation in the country.
