Cybersecurity in Africa: a strategic pillar for strengthening digital sovereignty
On November 30, 1988, a computer worm, the Morris Worm, paralyzed nearly 10% of ARPANET, the ancestor of the Internet. The incident was so significant that it gave birth to International Computer Security Day, celebrated every year on November 30. Thirty-five years later, Africa is experiencing a shift of a different kind: cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue. It has become a condition for economic stability, a governance imperative and above all the foundation of data sovereignty.
