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.
