Autumn has kick started a very busy period for NI-CO’s EU funded Cyber Resilience for Development (Cyber4Dev) project. Over the past month our expert teams have been in South Africa, Zambia, Mauritius and Botswana working collaboratively with like-minded organisations to support cyber resilience and raise public awareness in relation to the importance of cyber security. In Africa we have been delighted to work alongside C3SA and Atlantic Council by supporting the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge. The Challenge is a unique cyber competition designed to provide delegates from across a range of academic disciplines in Africa with a deeper understanding of the policy and strategic challenges associated with a cyber security breach and crisis.
