Rising Cybersecurity Breaches in Nigeria: Digital Encode Issues Urgent Advisory on Widespread Security Weaknesses - Tech | Business | Economy

▤ Summary

Digital Encode Limited warns that Nigerian organizations face a surge in breaches caused by basic security failures rather than advanced exploits. The advisory points to exposed databases, leaked API keys, weak credential management, misconfigured cloud assets, and poor control over third-party hosting. It urges firms to audit internet-facing systems, rotate compromised credentials, strengthen monitoring, and validate remediation across internal and external assets. The company says financial institutions, fintechs, government agencies, and other organizations need faster execution of existing security controls to reduce risk.
