The<br \/>\nNCPS requires each sector to establish a computer incident response team<br \/>\nprovides requisite services to the stakeholders and players within each<br \/>\nsector.<\/p>\n<p>The overall mandate of the NCC-CSIRT is to ensure continuous improvement<br \/>\nof processes and communication frameworks to guarantee secure and<br \/>\ncollaborative exchange of timely information while responding to cyber<br \/>\nthreats within the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the commissioning of the project in Abuja at the<br \/>\nweekend, the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy,<br \/>\nProf. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, described the Center as a strategic step<br \/>\nin boosting cybersecurity in Nigeria and commended the Board of NCC and<br \/>\nDanbatta-led Management of the Commission for ensuring successful<br \/>\nimplementation of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Pantami noted that the commissioning of the Facility marks an important<br \/>\nmilestone in the telecommunications industry in Nigeria, and described<br \/>\nit as a significant measure in the support of national efforts at<br \/>\nprotecting the information and communication technology infrastructure<br \/>\nin the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The creation of the Center is in line with the provisions of the<br \/>\nNational Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (NCPS) document published by<br \/>\nthe Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), which was recently<br \/>\nupdated and launched by President Muhammadu Buhari in February 2021. In<br \/>\nkeeping with the principles enshrined in the policy, each sector is<br \/>\nexpected to establish a sectoral Computer Incident Response Team (CSIRT)<br \/>\nthat provides requisite services to the constituents within that<br \/>\nsector,&#8221; the Minister said.<\/p>\n<p>In his address at the event, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof.<br \/>\nUmar Danbatta stated that, considering the increasing growth in Internet<br \/>\nusage, especially as a consequence of the outbreak of the pandemic, the<br \/>\nCommission observed a rise in cyber incidents and criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thus, the Commission recognises that with the borderless nature and<br \/>\npervasiveness of these incidences, relentless and concerted attention is<br \/>\nrequired to protect Internet users as well as the Critical National<br \/>\nInformation Infrastructure and ensure they are resilient&#8221;, Danbatta<br \/>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The EVC emphasised that the NCC-CSIRT has been structured to operate<br \/>\nwithin the framework of the NCPS and the National Digital Economy Policy<br \/>\nand Strategy (NDEPS) to assist the Nigerian communications sector with<br \/>\nthe management and coordination of cyber security incidents and threats.<br \/>\nHe noted that the CSIRT is established as a proactive step towards<br \/>\nbuilding trust, and safety needed for growing the digital economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The CSIRT&#8217;s services will commence with four main thrusts, namely:<br \/>\nmonitoring, incident management, communication, and alert and warning.<br \/>\nThe devices for handling these four areas will be scaled up and expanded<br \/>\nas the Centre&#8217;s operations grow in order to enhance the digital economy<br \/>\nand ensure it yields great dividends to the Nigerian citizens,&#8221; Danbatta<br \/>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Danbatta explained that the key mandates of the CSIRT, which will be<br \/>\nachieved through collaborative effort with relevant stakeholders,<br \/>\norganisations and agencies, include assisting the sector in the defence<br \/>\nand response to major cyber threats and attacks targeted at the members<br \/>\nwithin the sector, providing information, technical as well as policy<br \/>\nadvisories to the constituency to strengthen the defensive and response<br \/>\ncapabilities to cyber threats. The Centre is also to liaise with other<br \/>\nsectoral CSIRTs as well as local and international security frameworks<br \/>\nto protect the communications sector and\u00a0 the general wellbeing of the<br \/>\nNigerian people.<\/p>\n<p>Other mandates of the NCC-CSIRT, highlighted by Danbatta, are to provide<br \/>\nguidance and direction for the constituents in dealing with issues<br \/>\nrelating to the security of critical infrastructure in their possession;<br \/>\nand to periodically assess, review and collate the threat landscape,<br \/>\nrisks, and opportunities affecting the communications sector and provide<br \/>\nadvice to relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana<br \/>\nMonguno (Retd), who was represented at the event by Brigadier General,<br \/>\nSamad Akesode, has also acknowledged the establishment of NCC CSIRT as a<br \/>\nclear demonstration of the Commission&#8217;s resolve to join hands with the<br \/>\nFederal Government in mitigating any risk that will emanate as the<br \/>\ncountry embraces advanced technology to facilitate digital<br \/>\ntransformation in the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to Monguno, by establishing the CSIRT, the NCC has taken a<br \/>\nstep that could only be described as impeccable and timely, and in<br \/>\nconformity with the highest standards and international best practise<br \/>\nwhich aligns with the requirement of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition,<br \/>\nPrevention etc) Act, 2015.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leadership of the National Assembly, including the Chairman, Senate<br \/>\nCommittee on Communications, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and the Chairman,<br \/>\nCommittee on Telecommunications in the House of Representatives, Akeem<br \/>\nAdeyemi also profoundly applauded the Danbatta-led NCC for taking a<br \/>\nleading position for sectoral implementation of the NCPS and improving<br \/>\nsecurity of cyber space for all.<\/p>\n<p>Others, who delivered goodwill messages, commended the Commission, and<br \/>\nspoke about the significance of the CSIRT project to national economy<br \/>\nand national security, include the Permanent Secretary, Federal Minustry<br \/>\nof Communications and Digital Economy, Mr. Bitrus Nabasu as well as<br \/>\nother heads of agencies in the Ministry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has inaugurated an incidence response facility aimed at addressing incidences of cybercrimes, protecting telecoms infrastructure and encouraging increased participation in nation&#8217;s digital economy.
