In October, Djibouti’s National Cybersecurity Authority (ANC) is running a campaign in neighbourhoods to raise awareness of digital risks, Ilyane Abdoulfatah Moussa, head of its Governance, Risks and Resilience unit and campaign coordinator, told La Nation.

Activities focus in particular on online scams, child protection and reporting cyber threats. The ANC is a Djiboutian institution tasked with strengthening cybersecurity; the campaign also aims to promote simple steps people can take to protect themselves and those close to them. The initiative builds on awareness-raising activities carried out in Boulaos by the ANC.
