Cameroon has become the fourth African Commonwealth country to complete the National Cyber Risk Assessment (NCRA). This is the result of five months' work by the Cameroonian Cyber Security Agency - ANTIC - with the support and technical expertise of the Commonwealth.

The results of the first NCRA in Cameroon were presented on 20 September 2019 at ANTIC headquarters during a workshop chaired by the British High Commissioner to Cameroon, His Excellency Rowan Laxton, accompanied by the Director General of ANTIC, Professor Ebot Ebot Ebot Ebot Enaw.

Data were collected on forty-nine (49) critical assets from institutions in various sectors such as telecommunications, Internet service provision, energy, banks and the public sector, said Professor Ebot Ebot Ebot Ebot Enaw in his keynote address at the beginning of the workshop.

The NCRA will help Cameroon to put in place the necessary security measures to protect its critical assets and thus contribute significantly to a safer and more resilient national cyberspace, Professor Ebot noted.
