Hi all,

I join my voice to say there is a lot to attack in Africa. As long as you digitize information and that information has any sort of value, then you have to protect it.

Thanks for educating many on this. In deed Africa has a lot to protect from any more attacks...its wealth is  what makes it a target. 
Need I say more?
Thanks...

Hello Colleagues,

I think it will be very naive to think there is nothing to attack in Africa with the numerous e governmental portals coming up and also as a lot of governmental data centre are been developed, these are systems that can be attacked.  

The fact remains their is still a scramble  for resources in our continent, the recent crisis between South Sudan and Sudan says a lot.  The role of China as an emerging force technologically is their for all to see, 'How the ICANN community engages China come the 46th ICANN Meeting next year will be  interesting as China with Heuwei is playing a key role within Africa network communication Infrastructure  today.  

Am not been paranoid but but Africa can be prone to attack it can be economic sabotage or multi nationals playing at each other etc, the billions Angola are going to pump on the electricity sector means technically  a lot of this new grid  will managed through computer networks, If Dos Santos achieves his aim that grid he plans to set up for all Angolans to have electricity will rely a lot on Computer systems infrastructure that need to be rigid and secured, but we can be prone, the sooner we realise our systems need better protection our cyber laws and initiatives need to conform with International standards like the initiatives taken by Mauritius the better for us all.

My 0.00001% contribution to this interesting topic.

Peace

Oops.. This is now going into comparative inequalities ...since infrastructure is a  wide and varied quantity. I think that We need to separate Infrastructure by categories before the debate moves on.... Please.
My opinion is that Africa has enjoyed what needs to be promoted and protected and should be proud of. It depends on what one means by Infrastructure...

Btw Africa has other values to protect beyond the developing minimal digital infrastructure which is now becoming important and about 99% did without until 1980s

Keep on discussing please constructively.
