Özet:

 


The
world we live in today, has become more complex and more connected than ever
before, and this growing complexity and interconnectivity is largely made
possible by the forces of modern information, communications and transportation
technologies. The world has become a global village mainly because of the
rapidity in which socio-economic cleavages are getting interconnected,
computers as well as other powerful devices and machines have connected people
across oceans. Millions of people all over the world have now become “netizens,”
a new word coined to denote internet inhabitants. The use of ICTs, and the
Internet, has undoubtedly become a matter of strategic importance. Africa’s
socio- economic political development can be attributed to information
communication technology and the “internet of things “(IOT).In as much the
internet has been a great pivot and an appetitive drive of all aspects of human
life and endeavour, it equally comes with its own associated difficulties,
challenges and powerful threats not to only national security but human
survival at large.




This
paper seeks to critically discuss cyber security in Africa and its accompanied
challenges and problems. It further discusses the commanding threats cyber
insecurity poses to the Africa as a continent. Relevant analysis is  made in other to bring to fore the dire
consequences  the lack of cyber security
mechanism subject  a country like Africa,
and further plausibly    explained  the need to protect and guide desirously the
internet space of Africa since it is exposed to hazards of many kind.
