The ‘Cyber Security Awareness Week’ has been launched by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).

Patrick Nyirishema the Head of RDB-ICT noted, “its our(RDB) duty to senstise ICT users about the problems they could face and ensuring cyber security to guard vital information of users.

Nyirishema noted that ICT users could face a problem of information diversion and or leakages to unknown destinations.Being safer and more secure online is a shared responsibility.

The Cyber Security Awareness Week seeks to engage and educate public and private sector partners through events and initiatives with the goal of raising awareness about cybersecurity and increasing the resiliency of the nation in the event of a cyber incident.

Increased connectivity brings increased risk of crime – thus making cybersecurity one of our country’s most important national security priorities.

Emerging cyber threats require engagement from the entire Rwandan Community from government and law enforcement to the private sector and most importantly, members of the public – to create a safer cyber environment.
