Cybercrime is now among the top 3 global threats to businesses, and in 2024 alone, attacks increased by 36%.
AI-powered scams, deepfake fraud, poor password practices, and limited user awareness continue to put individuals and organisations at risk.
During the launch, our CEO emphasized that many attacks today succeed because:
• Basics aren’t known
• Passwords are too weak
• Users lack proper digital hygiene
• Cyber awareness is still low in many communities
This is why Cybersecurity Awareness Month expanded across Uganda this year — to make cybersecurity knowledge accessible to everyone, not just tech professionals.
One partner expressed:
“The radio talks and Cybershields reached people who had never received cybersecurity education. The impact was immediate.”
Cyber awareness is no longer optional — it's essential for securing tomorrow.
