4.3 Strategic aim 3: promote a cybersecurity culture in Senegal
Whether digitalising Senegal succeeds depends on whether organisations and individuals
have confidence in online services: so the Government needs to work with the public and
private sectors to increase their knowledge and understanding of the cyberthreats Senegal
and its people currently face. In fact, while a number of organisations, especially in banking
and telecoms, are already taking steps to protect themselves, they are still in a minority.
4.3.1
Specific aim 3.1: make all the groups concerned and the general public aware of the
security risks in cyberspace.
The Government will run awareness campaigns aimed at both the general public and organisations on
cybersecurity risks and how to protect themselves. To do this, it will adopt a range of approaches to
optimise the impact of these campaigns, and will work as required in partnership with other
organisations and those which offer their customers interfaces exposed to cyberthreats in particular.
Expected outcomes:
4.3.1.1
Individuals and organisations have adopted good practices to reduce the number, severity
and impact of the successful cyber-attacks which occur in Senegal continuously.
4.3.1.2
Individuals and organisations understand how important cybersecurity is, what their
responsibilities and obligations are and what they need to do to protect themselves, promoting
a cybersecurity culture in Senegal generally.
Actions:
4.3.1.1
Conduct a national study to establish how aware people are of cybersecurity at all levels of
society and implement a national awareness programme to cover the various target groups.
4.3.1.2
Spread good practice in cybersecurity.
4.3.1.3
Provide mandatory cybersecurity training for senior officers and directors in the private sector
so they understand the risks and threats involved better and how to mitigate them.
4.3.2
Specific aim 3.2: establish a reliable environment of confidence to provide government
services online and electronic transactions
Spreading online services and government services online and electronic transactions are
major elements in working towards a digital Senegal. To achieve this aim, the Government
must take up the crucial challenge of the security of services in Senegal. In fact, a minimum
