Cyberspace, also known as the Internet or the 5th global domain, has transformed Nigerian government functions, citizens’ interactions, and corporate organisations ways of communicating, conducting personal and commercial interactions at great speed and efficiency. It has greatly transformed the way many Nigerians interact with the world at large.
While accolades to the commercial success of the Internet may be made, there is also a challenge in identifying and curbing cyber threat in cyberspace. It is well documented that the Internet is being used as a vehicle to carry out criminal activity within Nigeria’s borders. These activities adversely affect the country economy, individuals and organisations within Nigeria’s physical territorial boundaries from a financial, reputational, security and privacy perspective.
Where external threat actors such as foreign intelligence agencies, hackers and other online criminals, are carrying out the activities they can also threaten the national security posture, which includes the economic, political and social fabric of Nigeria.
