Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46072, member: 636"] Congo plans to host a major cybersecurity exercise this July in Brazzaville-Kintélé. Minister Léon Juste Ibombo announced the regional Cyberdrill at the Cyber Africa Forum 2025. The exercise will take place on July 1st and 4th as a large-scale simulation. Officials want to test how African countries respond to cyber attacks together. The event marks an important step for Africa's digital security efforts. The International Telecommunication Union will help organize the drill. Interpol and Congo's National Information Systems Security Agency will also participate. The African Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research joins as a partner. Countries will practice detecting and stopping digital threats during the exercise. Teams will learn how to recover from cyber incidents more quickly. Congo has made digital growth a national priority through 2030. The country's digital economy expanded from less than 2 percent to almost 6 percent of total economic output over ten years. This growth created thousands of jobs and helped build a technology sector. Congo passed new laws to protect data and fight cybercrime. The government created agencies to oversee digital security and privacy. The nation focuses heavily on training young people and women for technology careers. Congo partners with Huawei and other organizations to teach digital skills. Special programs help women start technology businesses through training and funding. The country wants to develop artificial intelligence tools that work with African languages. Leaders also plan to improve internet connections between African nations and strengthen digital independence. [/QUOTE]
