Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a remarkable achievement, Ghana has been ranked as a Tier 1 country in the 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) released by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).<\/p>\n
This prestigious ranking places Ghana among the top nations globally in terms of cybersecurity practices, serving as a benchmark for other countries to follow.<\/p>\n
The GCI is a comprehensive report that assesses the cybersecurity capabilities of countries around the world.<\/p>\n
The new 5-tiered ranking system categorizes countries into different tiers based on their cybersecurity measures, with Tier 1 being the highest ranking. Ghana\u2019s placement in the Role Modelling category signifies that it is a leader in cybersecurity practices globally.<\/p>\n
Ghana\u2019s remarkable score of 99.27 per cent makes it the second-highest scoring country on the African continent after Mauritius.<\/p>\n
This achievement is a testament to the country\u2019s commitment to cybersecurity and its efforts to protect its citizens and businesses from cyber threats.<\/p>\n
Ghana is one of only five African countries to achieve the Tier 1; Role modelling status, and among only 46 countries worldwide that fall in this category.<\/p>\n
This achievement is a significant milestone for Ghana, demonstrating its leadership in cybersecurity practices globally.<\/p>\n
The ranking is a result of Ghana\u2019s efforts to strengthen its cybersecurity framework, including the establishment of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in 2017.<\/p>\n
The NCSC is responsible for coordinating and implementing Ghana\u2019s cybersecurity policies and programs.<\/p>\n
In recent years, Ghana has taken significant steps to improve its cybersecurity capabilities, including the development of a National Cybersecurity Strategy and the establishment of a Cybersecurity Fund. These efforts have paid off, with Ghana now recognized as a leader in cybersecurity practices globally.<\/p>\n
The achievement is also a result of the collaboration between government, private sector, and civil society organizations in Ghana.<\/p>\n
The country has worked closely with international partners, including the ITU, to strengthen its cybersecurity capabilities.<\/p>\n
Ghana\u2019s Tier 1 status in the 2024 GCI is a significant achievement, demonstrating the country\u2019s commitment to cybersecurity and its leadership in this area.<\/p>\n
It is expected to have a positive impact on Ghana\u2019s economy, as it will attract more investment and businesses to the country.<\/p>\n
In a reaction, the Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, said \u201cThis achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the government, private sector, and civil society organizations in Ghana\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to work together to strengthen our cybersecurity capabilities and protect our citizens and businesses from cyber threats.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ranking is also expected to have a positive impact on Ghana\u2019s international relations, as it demonstrates the country\u2019s commitment to global cybersecurity efforts.<\/p>\n
