Sustained Cyber War Against African Organisations Confirmed in Check Point’s Report - Tech | Business | Economy
Summary
Check Point Research reports that African organizations continue to face heavy cyber pressure, with Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Mozambique among the most attacked countries. The report shows ransomware, hacktivism, and AI-enabled threats remain major drivers of risk, especially for government, financial services, telecommunications, and education. It also highlights growing exploitation of perimeter vulnerabilities in VPN and firewall technologies. The findings point to persistent exposure around patching, ransomware resilience, and governance for GenAI use. Security teams in Africa need ongoing prevention-first controls and stronger vulnerability management.
