The Deputy Minister of Communications Technology and Innovation, Ibrahim Sannoh has highlighted the major roles of policymakers in fortifying Sierra Leone against cyber threats.

He further maintained that it is very impotent to promote awareness about the Convention on Cybercrime, as well as the nation’s commitment to the Budapest Convention as a cornerstone in the global battle against cyber threats.

He made the statement during the Cybersecurity Workshop where he stressed that their focus should be on the essential aspects of policymaking.
