adminSymantec. Nigeria moved nine places up to its current position of 58th in the world in terms of internet security. Continentally, in the new listing, Nigeria is 6th behind South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Mauritius.
Oseme Osabase, Symantec Corporation West Africa manager, however, warned that new threats like “Watering Hole” pose greater danger to individuals, small and medium enterprises and big corporations.
“Attackers no longer come directly, but wait for their targets at their most frequented websites and unleash their virus. This could cost an individual, corporation or nation entire data storage,” said Osabase.
He also reiterated that there are now more state-sponsored cyber attacks across the globe with nations gradually shifting from known military hardware warfare to cyber warfare. – CAJ News.
