President John Dramani Mahama has officially launched the 2025 National Cyber Security Awareness Month, calling for collective responsibility, public education, and stronger collaboration to combat the rising threat of cybercrime.
The launch, held at Burma Camp in Accra under the theme "A Safe, Informed and Accountable Digital Space", highlighted the growing risks posed by cyberattacks to national security and economic stability.
President Mahama warned that although digitalization continued to drive development, it also created vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit. He stressed that cyber threats knew no borders and emphasized the need to put measures in place to avert them. He further reaffirmed the government's commitment to building a secure digital economy, noting that a Joint Cyber Security Committee had been established to work with international security partners in protecting Ghana's cyberspace.
