The coalition government, through the National Communication Authority (NCA) has made plans to invest and implement an appropriate cyber-infrastructure and systems project aimed at protecting all internet users across South Sudan.

The project is geared towards protecting and ensuring the privacy of government and other stakeholders’ data and information from infiltration. This comes after the Authority registered numerous cases of online scammers using technology to commit malicious crimes on digital networks across the country.

According to Eng. Napoleon Adok, Director General of the National Communication Authority, cyber-criminals engage in such acts with the intention of stealing sensitive information and generating profit for themselves.

“The government needs to consider improving its cyber infrastructure and systems to protect against such incidents. So those people collect information around us and exploit that vulnerability and anticipation that we have as human beings.

“To avoid such incidents and guarantee the integrity and security of government information, there is a need to implement and invest in proper government infrastructure and systems,” said Eng. Napoleon Adok during the Annual Town Hall Meeting in Juba.

To address threats of this kind, the head of South Sudan’s communications regulator revealed that the Information Ministry is considering the establishment of a National ICT Authority to regulate the government’s procurement of ICT equipment.
