You don’t manage a cyber crisis for the first time the day it happens.
In reality, the most vulnerable organizations are those that never test their crisis management.
Why?
• Roles are unclear
• Decisions are slow
• Communication turns chaotic

What simulations bring:
• Reveal weaknesses
• Improve procedures
• Build real reflexes
A well-run exercise prevents critical mistakes.
Simulation is now at the heart of cyber resilience.

What makes the difference is:
- Roles and responsibilities defined in advance
- Clear decision-making processes
- Rapid access to reliable analyses

In cybersecurity, delaying a decision often means suffering the consequences.
That is why preparation, coordination and the support of collective expertise are essential in a crisis.

But in practice, several obstacles slow organisations down :
- Uncertainty about the true nature of the incident
- Multiple layers of approval
- Lack of coordination between teams
The result is delayed decisions and amplified impacts. (2/4)

Sans #cyberrésilience, pas d’#inclusionfinancière durable en Afrique francophone.
1,1 Md comptes mobile money, 21 % en Afrique de l’Ouest. Mais 23 % d’attaques hebdo, 81 % fraudes = usurpation

Digital sovereignty ≠ isolation. It’s the collective ability to protect shared interests.
In Africa’s financial sector, resilience depends on:
• Rapid alert sharing
• Joint threat analysis
• Crisis coordination

Cybercriminals collaborate, defenders must too.
That’s why ACRC strengthens information-sharing and coordination across African financial institutions.
