The strategies conducted by organisations in most of Africa to attend to cybersecurity issues have been improving in the last couple of years which is good news. This is particularly the case for larger companies that have international presence elsewhere in the world.
In a recent article on KPMG Africa’s Cyber Security Outlook 2022 survey published by ITWeb it was announced that “Cyber strategy in Africa is more mature than ever before, with nearly three-quarters (74%) of Africa’s large companies saying they have a relatively mature approach to privacy and cyber security. In addition, 75% of companies said their strategies were either regularly refreshed or had been built in alignment with their threat profile with measurable KPIs. This is certainly an improvement on the past and helps organisations in Africa to build improved relationships with other countries around the world, including those in the rest of Africa as a priority to support the economic growth of the continent.
