审查非洲用户和管理人员的国家网络安全意识

Reviewing National Cybersecurity Awareness for Users and Executives in Africa

Maria Bada, Basie von Solms, Ioannis Agrafiotis

摘要:

在过去几年中,全球网络犯罪出现了前所未有的增长。推动这一增长的区域之一是非洲,据报告,那里遭受了重大的财政损失。然而,非洲国家的公民没有意识到网络空间存在的风险。非洲国家为解决这一问题而设计和开展的全国宣传运动尚处于初级阶段,主要原因是缺乏能力建设努力。作为全球网络安全能力中心(GCSCC)计划的一部分,我们在六个非洲国家开展了一系列焦点小组活动,以评估其网络安全态势,其中一个关键组成部分是用户和管理人员对网络风险的认识。本文是以前工作的扩展版本,对非洲国家的网络风险意识进行了初步分析。在这一扩展版本中,我们反思了开展国家提高认识运动的最佳做法,并将其作为分析重点群体定性数据的框架。我们讨论了非洲国家在实施国家网络安全意识运动方面的现状。本报告分析了非洲国家在打击网络犯罪方面的主要障碍,并在最后提出了关于非洲国家如何能够确定和优先开展活动以提高其网络安全意识能力的建议。

英文摘要:

There is an unprecedented increase in cybercrime globally observed over the last years. One of the regions driving this increase is Africa, where significant financial losses are reported. Yet, citizens of African countries are not aware of the risks present in cyberspace. The design and implementation of national awareness campaigns by African countries to address this problem are in their infancy state, mainly due to the absence of capacity building efforts. As part of the Global Cybersecurity Capacity Centre (GCSCC) programme, we conducted a series of focus groups in six African countries, in order to assess their cybersecurity posture, a critical component of which is user and executive awareness of cyber risks. This paper is an extended version of previous work where an initial analysis of awareness for cyber risk in African countries was presented. In this extended version, we reflect on best practice approaches for developing national awareness campaigns and use these as a framework to analyse qualitative data from the focus groups. We discuss the current state of African countries with regards to the implementation of national cybersecurity awareness campaigns for. users and executives, the main obstacles in combating cybercrime and conclude with recommendations on how African countries can identify and prioritise activities to increase their capacity regarding cybersecurity awareness.
