Breaking News!
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
has unwrapped the latest Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) with Nigeria conspicuously
missing in the current index, exclusively reports DigitalSENSE Business News.
Also, DigitalSENSE Business News
observed in the current report released in Dubai at the weekend that both in
the countries that had their cybersecurity indexed and those who submitted
survey for this research, Nigeria was nowhere to be seen.
In the cybersecurity index were 44 responses
received, according to DigitalSENSE
Business News, while 15 countries that responded and are preparing survey
answers including Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, Angola, Brazil, Chad, Colombia, Equatorial
Guinea, Iraq, Jordan, Lithuania, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Norway, and Uruguay.
DigitalSENSE
Business News also gathered that GCI was an initiative launched by ITU and
ABI Research to measure the levels of cybersecurity in countries to underline
ITU’s commitment to strengthening cybersecurity and plugging the gaps worldwide
while building capacity at the national level, particularly in developing
countries.
Nigeria invariably may be leading some 134 ‘No
survey or response received’ countries for the GCI which core objective is to
release a global status of cybersecurity for 2014.
DigitalSENSE
Business News recollects that the long term aim is to drive further efforts
in the adoption and integration of cybersecurity on a global scale. A
comparison of national cybersecurity strategies will reveal those countries
with high rankings in specific areas, and consequently highlight lesser known –
yet successful – cybersecurity strategies.
