Ghana's National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (NCPS) aimed at addressing the increasing cybersecurity threats arising from the nation's rapid digital transformation has been launched in Accra.
The revised policy represents a strategic response to both existing and anticipated cyber threats that could undermine Ghana's gains in digitalisation and provides clear focus and direction to guide the development of Ghana's cybersecurity over the next five years.
The policy is hinged across five critical pillars namely Legal Measures, Technical Measures, Organisational Measures, Capacity Building, and Cooperation.
Unveiling the policy at the 2024 National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) in Accra last Friday, the Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, described the policy as a landmark achievement critical to Ghana's Cybersecurity development.
