    Chapter 9 explores the overall risk of cybersecurity and cybersecurity resilience on the African continent. Africa ranks low on the 2018 International Telecommunication Union’s Global Cybersecurity Insecurity and the continent scores lowest of all regions in the five pillars: legal, technical, organizational, capacity building, and cooperation.
