It also provides basic understanding of the doctrinal frameworks within which they are defined. 2.1 Doctrine on Cyberspace:   2.1.1 Cyberspace is an interdependent network of critical and non-critical national information infrastructures, convergence of interconnected information and communication resources through the use of information and communication technologies. It encompasses all forms of digital engagements, interactions, socializations and transactional activities; contents, contacts and resources deployed through interconnected networks. 2.1.2 Cyberspace is recognized as a domain for non-critical and critical national functions such as economic development, trade and commerce, social interactions, communication, medical and health, government operations, national security and defence. 2.2. Doctrine on Cyberspace Critical Assets & Infrastructure:   2.2.1 The operation, sustaining and survival of critical national functions is anchored on a safe and secure national critical information infrastructure, robust policies and processes with skilled manpower to manage such critical infrastructure. These complements of empowered people, processes and systems are fundamental to the cardinal objectives of Nigeria’s National Cybersecurity Policy and its abiding principles.
