Internet in Africa

The first step towards building a more secure internet in Africa has been taken by the Internet Society and the African Union Commission, which have unveiled a new set of Internet Infrastructure Security Guidelines for Africa during the African Internet Summit last week. The guidelines will help Africa create a more secure internet infrastructure, and are set to change the way African Union States approach cyber security preparedness. The guidelines, the first of their kind in Africa, were developed by a multi-stakeholder group of African and global internet infrastructure security experts, and are the first step towards building a more secure internet in Africa.
