The Director-General of the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) in Ghana, Mr Devine Selase Agbeti, has called for stronger collaboration among various stakeholders to safeguard the country's rapidly expanding digital finance ecosystem from cybercriminals. He emphasized that the government alone cannot combat cybercrime effectively and called for collaboration with all relevant parties.
Speaking at the media launch of the 2026 National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Agbeti highlighted the need for building trust through collaboration and cyber resilience. The theme of the month-long campaign is "Securing Ghana’s Digital Finance Ecosystem: Building Trust through Collaboration and Cyber Resilience." A report from the Bank of Ghana revealed a 48% increase in reported fraud cases from 2024 to 2025, with the value at risk nearly doubling.
The CSA's awareness campaign aims to educate citizens and institutions on identifying and preventing cyber-enabled financial crimes, including online investment scams and business email compromise. The Deputy Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Mr Mohammed Adam Sukparu, emphasized that cybersecurity is a shared national responsibility, urging stakeholders to strengthen collaboration and build a safer digital environment for Ghana's digital economy.
