From industrial age to information societies -Increasing dependence on the availability of ICTs -Number of Internet users growing constantly (now 40% of world’s population) Statistics and reports show that cyber-threats are on the rise -The likely annual cost to the global economy from Cybercrime is estimated at more than $455 billion (Source: McAfee Report on Economic Impact of Cybercrime, 2013). Developing countries most at risk as they adopt broader use of ICTs -E.g. Africa leading in Mobile-broadband penetration: almost 20% in 2014 - up from less than 2% in 2010 (Source: ITU ICT Statistics) Need for building cybersecurity capacity -Protection is crucial for the socio-economic wellbeing of a country in the adoption of new technologies Source: Symantec 2015 Internet Security Threat Report
