Current local and international reports indicate that cyber attacks in Nigeria is still on the increase despite the fact that many attack incidences in Nigeria are not reported. Today, individuals, governments and corporate organisations are losing huge sum of money and properties as a result of cyber-attacks. Threat landscapes continue to change rapidly, and attacks are increasing in might and sophistication. It is also believed that this trend will continue in the nearest future.

The potentials and trends of cyber attacks have also taken another dimension since the current pandemic (Covid-19) has forced many individuals, governments and corporate organizations to move most of their operations and activities online. We have also seen recently many reported attacks on public facing systems in Nigeria. Consequently, concerted effort is needed to enhance Cyber Security in Nigeria.

Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), the umbrella body for all IT practitioners and interest groups, has a core mandate of supporting government towards the realisation of a safe and secured deployment and use of IT resources. NCS intends to make this Stakeholders’ Meeting a pungent platform for analysing the situation critically and provide reliable solutions to Nation’s Cyber Security challenges. Experts from various aspects of the economy will be invited to lead discussions at the meeting. NCS remains committed to IT Development in Nigeria and has scheduled many programmes geared towards addressing the factors mitigating efficient use of IT for leapfrogging development.
