DEPUTY Minister of Information, Communication, and Technology Modestus Amutse said cybercrimes know no boundaries, and every sector is at risk of cyberattacks, resulting in potential massive financial losses and reputational risks for organizations and individuals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amutse made these remarks during the 4th Annual International High-Level Cybersecurity Conference in Windhoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-day conference is being held under the theme “Emerging Cybersecurity Threats and the Country’s Preparedness to Build a Safer Digital Space.”<\/p>\n\n\n

According to Amutse, this conference aims to provide a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange among key stakeholders in the cybersecurity domain, catering to various sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He indicated that in an era defined by rapid technological advancements and increasing interconnectedness, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just as much as we advocate for digital inclusion, connectivity, and embracing digital technologies in our quest towards effective and efficient service delivery to our clientele, we all have an obligation to safeguard our networks, systems, and data against cyber threats on a daily basis,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that cybersecurity is not merely a technical concern but a fundamental pillar of national security, economic stability, and individual privacy in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, Amutse says, as they discuss the evolving trends and threats of the cybersecurity landscape, and innovative solutions during these three days, it is imperative to acknowledge the importance of collaboration and cooperation among stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, he said Namibia, like many other countries, is increasingly reliant on digital technologies across sectors such as oil and gas, mining, energy, aviation, mobile, and telecommunications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, Amutse said that the ever-evolving technological space requires responsive legislative and policy frameworks as well as strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The government has nearly finalized the development of the National Digital Strategy and consolidation of the ICT policy, which are pending submission to Cabinet for approval,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that consultations on the development of the Data Protection Bill have been completed and it is due for presentation and deliberation at the Cabinet Committee on Legislation (CCL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, he said the Cybercrime Bill is pending refinement before its submission to CCL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
