Nigeria’s digital economy continues to grow, but so do cybersecurity threats. In 2024, the country faced a surge in ransomware, phishing, and AI-powered scams, costing businesses millions.
ACE Data Protection Consulting offers robust solutions to safeguard Nigerian organizations through comprehensive data privacy and cybersecurity services.
This article explores Nigeria’s cybersecurity landscape and how ACE’s expertise ensures business resilience.
The Evolving Cybersecurity Landscape in Nigeria
Cybercrime in Nigeria is escalating in sophistication and impact. The National Cyber Threat Forecast 2024 by the Cyber Security Experts Association of Nigeria (CSEAN) reports ransomware as a dominant threat, with Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) enabling less-skilled attackers to launch devastating attacks.
Poor patching practices and reliance on cracked software exacerbate vulnerabilities, leading to operational disruptions and financial losses.
Additionally, AI-powered scams, including personalized phishing and deepfake fraud, exploit businesses’ digital footprints. A 2023 INTERPOL report estimated cybercrime’s financial impact in Africa at over $4 billion, with Nigeria bearing a significant share.
These threats target organizations across sectors, from finance to healthcare, exposing sensitive data and undermining trust.
