how to convince leaders --- @Bennete - I agree. Especially in developing countries it may be that the local economy is still not so integrated in the digital domain and maybe it is predominantly "offline" dependent (offline banks, schools, health services) and therefore the Cybersecurity might seem abstract or not critically important to governments. I'm afraid that exactly this different timeliness will lead to even bigger "digital divide". We face the similar problem in my country too, although last year the country faced a cyber-attack on the election day (the website of the State Electoral Commission was down, and electoral data/results were compromised. SEC had to manually re-count everything). I'd also like to hear more ideas how can we push the cybersecurity higher on our governments agenda!
