A framework for cyber security in Africa

Abstract

This paper deals with at least four major cyber safety concerns in Africa discussed in recent literature. These cyber concerns include aspects such as policies, procedure, awareness, research and the provision of technical security measures. Each concern is examined, the main focus areas are highlighted and a solution is proposed. This paper concludes by combining all relevant solutions into a proposed cyber security framework to assist Africa in decreasing its cybercrime rate especially among home users with no or limited cyber safety knowledge.
