Africa-Press<\/a> – Ethiopia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>s Ababa, October 20\/2021( ENA) Information Network Security Agency (INSA) has urged all media institutions in Ethiopia to enhance their capability to prevent the increasing cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n

INSA Deputy Director General Antenhe Tesfaye made the remark during a day-long training organized for social media experts of various media institutions in the country with the view to enhancing cyber security capacity of the media.<\/p>\n

The training is part of the \u2018Cyber Security Month\u2019 program launched on October 11 under the title \u201cCyber Security Shared Responsibility, Let\u2019s Know & Be Cautious.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his opening remark he made at the training, Antenhe said media are among the most targeted institutions by cyber-attackers.<\/p>\n

Noting that cyber-attacks are increasing form time to time, he said INSA is working to strengthen national capacity to ensuring cyber security at all levels.<\/p>\n

\u201dUnless we built our capacity to repel cyber-attacks and bring a lasting solutions to the related challenges, it would be difficult to ensure the peace, development, and democracy of the country,\u201d he underscored.<\/p>\n

In this regard he said that the Agency is committed to work with all institutions in the country to help enhance capacity to preventing cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia has encountered some 2,800 cyber-attack attempts during the last Ethiopian fiscal year (2020\/21), according to INSA.<\/p>\n

According to INSA Deputy Director General, 94 Million USD loss has been registered in 2020 due to cyber-attacks orchestrated on media companies alone.<\/p>\n

It is indicated that 2.5 trillion USD was lost due to cyber-attacks in 2020. It is also predicted that the world is expected to loss 6 trillion USD in 2025 because of Cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n

The objectives of Cyber Security Month are to carry out mobilization with a view to enhancing awareness among the cyber community including individuals and institutions and to help ensure the national interests of the country.<\/p>\n

During the month, awareness creation activities will be carried out among individuals, governmental and private institutions focusing on ways to mitigate and control cyber-attacks on technologies being used by them.<\/p>\n
