<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Abidjan: Cyber experts are urging Africa<\/a> to up its game in the face of criminals targeting the continent's fast-growing internet<\/a> economy with scams and theft.

Countries south of the Sahara are some of the world's fastest-growing online markets -- which makes them both attractive and vulnerable to cybercrime, say specialists.

\"The issue of cybersecurity has to be raised to the core duties of the state,\" Chadian economist Succes Masra said at a cyber conference in Abidjan, Ivory Coast's economic hub, which ended on Tuesday.

\"If you do that, you will get follow-through. There's incomplete awareness about this problem, and we have to speed things up.\"

Half a billion people in Africa are connected to the internet, according to Interpol<\/a> -- a figure that in raw numbers places the continent ahead of other regions such as South America or the Middle East.

There is plenty of room for growth, as more than 60 percent of the continent's population is still offline.

Major attacks on the internet itself are very rare in Africa, the most spectacular being a brief takedown of the web across the West African state of Liberia in 2016.

Instead, say experts, fraud and theft are flourishing, inflicting an estimated economic cost of $4 billion a year.

\"Less than five percent of the attacks which we have in Ivory Coast are pure attacks on computer systems,\" said Colonel Guelpetchin Ouattara, in charge of the country's anti-cybercrime unit.

\"Ninety-five percent come from online fraud or money transfers via a mobile, video blackmail, etcetera.\"

Many Africans use their mobile phones to make instant transfers of money, often through shops, in order to avoid the expense and time of using a bank.

The trends in Africa are a lesson to the continent not to follow other parts of the world in how they tackle online crime, said Ouattara.

\"We have to shape our response to the local problem. You can't compare Africa with other parts of the world which have their own specificities, their own digital environment, their own risks,\" he said.

Several countries in Africa have already implemented a strategic plan for cybersecurity, setting up units with specialised investigators and launching awareness campaigns.

Security 'reflex'
<\/strong>
In Ivory Coast, for instance, the Platform for Fighting Cybercrime (PLCC) has 200,000 followers on its Facebook page, where it provides the public with tips and informs them of emerging threats and arrests.

\"Digital security has to become a reflex for the public, exactly the same as when you lock your door at night,\" said Ouattara.

The software protection market is also booming.

According to the consultancy PWC, sales rose to $2.32 billion in 2020 from $1.33 billion in 2017.

\"There's an awareness and real demand,\" said Franck Kie, who organised the Cyber Africa Forum<\/a>.

Seminars at the two-day event ranged from the risks to Africa's financial industries and e-commerce, to enhancing data protection and beefing up pan-African cooperation in fighting cybercrime.

Around 20 companies promoted their products or services on the sidelines of the conference.

阿比让:网络专家敦促非洲其游戏面对罪犯针对大陆的快速增长互联网经济诈骗和盗窃。

撒哈拉沙漠以南的国家是世界上增长最快的网络市场的一些——这使得它们都有吸引力,容易受到网络犯罪,专家说。

“网络安全问题提高到国家的核心职责,“乍得经济学家成功Masra网络发布会上说在阿比让,象牙海岸的经济中心,在周二结束。

“如果你这样做,你将会跟进。有关于这个问题的不完整的认识,我们必须加快速度。”

十亿人在非洲是连接到互联网,根据国际刑警组织——这一数字在原始数据将大陆领先于其他南美和中东等地区。

有大量的发展空间,随着大陆60%以上的人口仍然是离线。

主要攻击互联网本身是非常罕见的在非洲,最引人注目的是一个短暂的可拆卸的网络在2016年在西非的利比里亚。

相反,专家说,欺诈和盗窃都在蓬勃发展,造成估计每年40亿美元的经济损失。

“不到百分之五的攻击我们在科特迪瓦是纯粹的攻击计算机系统,”上校Guelpetchin瓦塔拉说,该国anti-cybercrime单位负责。

“百分之九十五来自网上诈骗或通过手机转账,视频勒索,等等。”

许多非洲人使用手机即时转移钱,经常通过商店,为了避免使用银行的费用和时间。

的趋势在非洲大陆的教训不是跟世界其他地方在如何解决网络犯罪,瓦塔拉说。

“我们必须塑造我们应对当地的问题。你不能拿非洲和世界其他地区,都有自己的特点,自己的数字环境,自己的风险,”他说。

在非洲的一些国家已经实现了一个网络安全战略计划,建立单位专门调查和开展宣传活动。

安全“反射”
例如,在象牙海岸,打击网络犯罪的平台(PLCC)有200000名粉丝在其Facebook页面,它为公众提供提示和通知他们新兴威胁和逮捕。

“数字安全成为公众的反射,一模一样晚上当你锁的门,“瓦塔拉说。

软件保护市场也蓬勃发展。

根据咨询公司普华永道,销售额增长到23.2亿年的2020美元从13.3亿年的2017美元。

“有一个认识和实际需求,”弗兰克说Kie,谁组织了非洲的网络论坛。

研讨会为期两天的活动范围从非洲的金融行业和电子商务风险,加强数据保护和加强泛非合作打击网络犯罪。

大约20家公司宣传他们的产品或服务在出席会议。
