III trategic Goal (iii): Promote awareness, information sharing and collaboration on cybersecurity A significant proportion of cybersecurity incidents can be prevented by being aware of, and understanding the threat. It is critical that individuals and organizations in Malawi are aware of the threat, and are taking the appropriate measures to protect themselves from cyber attacks.
