Promoted | Zimbabwe’s perceptions about cybersecurity need to change, writes LiquidInTech’s Wellington Makamure
Many businesses see IT departments as cost centres, which can lead to them being perceived as value-lacking entities. Furthermore, the number of highly skilled cybersecurity experts in Zimbabwe is small, and those in this sector are very much in demand overseas, which leads to a brain drain in the sector.
Simply put, ignorance and a dearth of skills surrounding cybercrime are high in Zimbabwe, and it’s an issue that needs to be addressed urgently. A complete 360-degree review of cybersecurity is needed to increase knowledge around combatting cybercriminals. Through educating employees, cybercrime awareness will spread to the public. Everyone knows someone who works in a business or sector where cybersecurity is a major concern, and they will be able to impart their knowledge to friends, colleagues and family members. In a way, businesses will act as good corporate citizens in this regard, and governments and NGOs will add an extra benefit to the services they deliver.
