This document outlines Ghana's critical national internet infrastructure and proposes strengthening it. It discusses automating Ghana's .gh domain name registry and establishing a governing body. It also proposes deploying root servers through joint efforts of the registry and internet exchange point. The document outlines Ghana's national cybersecurity organization CERT-GH and an IPv4 to IPv6 transition task force. It describes Ghana's internet exchange point and need for a national internet backbone plan. The document proposes locating key infrastructure elements at Ghana's new national data center to foster synergies between national internet resources.

When the government purchases products or services with inadequate in-built “cybersecurity,” the risks created persist throughout the lifespan of the item purchased. The lasting effect of inadequate cybersecurity in acquired items is part of what makes acquisition reform so important to achieving cybersecurity and resiliency.
Currently, government and contractors use varied and nonstandard practices, which make it difficult to consistently manage and measure acquisition cyber risks across different organizations.
Meanwhile, due to the growing sophistication and complexity of ICT and the global ICT supply chains, federal agency information systems are increasingly at risk of compromise, and agencies need guidance to help manage ICT supply chain risks
Singapore's National Cyber Security StrategyBenjamin Ang
Singapore's National Cyber Security Strategy was launched by the Singapore government at the inaugural Singapore International Cyber Week 2016.

This public, 90-minute session examined the prevalence of cyber threats in the Indo-Pacific region based on some of the high-profile cyber-attacks and data leaks, as well as advanced persistent threat campaigns. It assessed the growing prominence of information warfare, especially in the current pandemic. The session highlighted the most common tactics, techniques and procedures used by malicious actors, and the countermeasures that governments and the private sector have undertaken to fortify their cyber defenses in the emerging data-driven economy. This session then examined the role played by the US and Singapore in enhancing regional cybersecurity as well as clarify the points of convergence and divergence between Singapore and the US to improve future cooperation.

Tampering With the Open Internet: Experiences From AfricaAFRINIC
The talk explores the ways, explicit and covert, in which states and private operators hinder the free flow of internet traffic. The security and privacy implications of such tampering numerous, but could intermediaries in Africa play a more proactive role to minimise threats to an open internet? This talk also notes how practices such as surveillance and censorship affect civic engagement, and, as food for thought, poses the question of how the economic and social impacts of internet traffic tampering in Africa countries should be accurately measured.

The Importance of adopting, implementing and following up IPv6 migration at a country/national Level. IPv6 preparedness is increasingly urgent and growth of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority pool for available IPv4 addresses is already exhausted.
The Presentation provide guidance of what the issues to consider when planning and monitoring an IPv6 migration managed by different stakeholders .
Supporting the global efforts in strengthening the safety, security and resilience of Cyberspace, the Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum 2013, organised by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation. The ceremonial opening examined how Cyberspace could be governed and utilised in a manner to foster freedom and entrepreneurship, while protecting individuals, property and the state, leading to socio-economic development. Speakers of this session, Mr Mario Maniewicz, Chief, Department of Infrastructure, Enabling Environment and E-Applications, ITU; Mr David Pollington, Director, International Security Relations, Microsoft; Mr Alexander Seger, Secretary, Cybercrime Convention Committee, Council of Europe; Mr Nigel Hickson, Vice President, Europe, ICANN and Mr Pierre Dandjinou, Vice President, Africa, ICANN, added their perspectives on various approaches to Cybergovernance, with general agreement on the role Cyberspace could play to facilitate development equitably and fairly across the world.
Hosted by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of Cameroon together with the Telecommunications Regulatory Board of Cameroon and backed by partners and industry supporters including ICANN, Council of Europe, Microsoft, MTN Cameroon, AFRINIC and Internet Watch Foundation, the Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum 2013 seeks to broaden stakeholder dialogue to facilitate practical action in Cybergovernance and Cybersecurity, some of which will be reflected in the CTO’s own work programmes under its Cybersecurity agenda.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
