Cyber attackers increasingly exploit institutional gaps in Ghana’s cybersecurity framework

“We need financial institutions to share actionable threat intelligence, we need telecommunications companies to work closely with banks and fintechs, and we need regulators, technology companies, law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity service providers to exchange information quickly enough to disrupt attacks before losses occur,” he said.

Dr Agbeti said the vulnerabilities being exploited by cybercriminals highlighted the need for stronger institutional collaboration through information sharing and timely intelligence exchange.

Mr Daniel Sowah Klu, Head of Cyber and Information Security at the Bank of Ghana, said the Central Bank was working closely with the CSA to operationalise digital forensic laboratories and other critical infrastructure.
