The Club of Information Security Experts (CESIA) in Africa says a lack of preparedness among companies in Africa is the cause of the continents inability to deal with major cyberattacks.

CESIA said in 2021, 55% of companies in Africa believed that they were not prepared to handle a large-scale cyberattack. This figure is revised downward to 52%, or one in every two companies, according to a group of experts who have unveiled a second exclusive survey that serves as a barometer of cybersecurity on the continent in 2021.

WADR’s Patrick Sallia has the rest of the details.
