A cyber security expert, Adebola Folorunso has advised government agencies and corporations to always update their security measures.
Folorunso, who spoke with journalists at the weekend, noted that this is necessary to prevent cyber attacks on their websites.
She advised organisations to regularly back up their data, update their security measures, conduct security assessments, gather intelligence and continuously train their security teams to enhance their application security to prevent cyber attacks.
She said the current digital era’s influence on businesses across the globe necessitates strengthening the security of sensitive data related to corporations and institutions to prevent potential cyber-attacks.
Folorunso noted that strategic alliances between government bodies, businesses, and cyber security experts will help to reduce cyber threats.
“The government’s role will not only bring regulatory supervision to ensure the best security standards are upheld but also contribute to the knowledge and development of cybersecurity regulations and application security frameworks.
“Government agencies would initiate regulations, businesses would enforce them while cybersecurity experts fill the knowledge gap.
“The alliance of these groups would result in a robust, secure application system, presenting significant advantages in tackling cyber-attacks.
“Organisations must regularly backup their data, update their security measures, conduct security assessments, gather intelligence, and continuously train their security teams to enhance their application security”.
