Digital divide --- Another way to look at this figure: With only 43.2% of its population having access to internet, Africa is lagging behind. In North America this rate is 93.9% and 88.2% in Europe. (Source World Stats, 2021).

The digital divide has to be addressed and cyber security measures should be shared or developed together with developing countries.

My question: Are there specificities to be taken into account when addressing cyber protection in Africa? Weak infrastructures? Power cuts? Lack of e-knowledge?
