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

Poncelet

Thank you to Claude and Poncelet for your valuable contributions.

To go in the same direction and demonstrate that the issues of cyberwar is global, and that Africa is not excluded, I would like to share with you a  book “The Quest for Cyber Peace† that was suggested to me by Alexander NTOKO of ITU : http://www.itu.int/pub/S-GEN-WFS.01-1-2011 (in ENGLISH, ARABIC, CHINESE, SPANISH, FRENCH and RUSSIAN).


Regards.

Great I am glad we are moving forward with our discussion. Critical infrastructure to me means  any related ICT infrastructure supporting african countries critical business that if affected could have a large impact to the level that nothing will work. ie Airport , TV, Banks , Telecommunication , Applications for custom or application for salaries payments. In fact only risks analysis will help to identify such infrastructure. That is why vulnerability assessment and Penetration testing services are important to minimise the risks related to the critical indentified infrastructure.
