Cybersecurity expert Adebola Folorunso has urged government agencies and corporations to continuously update their security measures. Speaking to journalists over the weekend, Folorunso emphasized the importance of preventing cyber attacks on their websites.
She advised organizations to regularly back up their data, update security protocols, conduct security assessments, gather intelligence, and provide ongoing training for their security teams. These steps, she noted, are crucial for enhancing application security and preventing cyber attacks.
Folorunso highlighted that the influence of the current digital era on global businesses makes it essential to strengthen the security of sensitive data related to corporations and institutions.
She also stressed that strategic partnerships between government bodies, businesses, and cybersecurity experts are key to reducing cyber threats. The government’s role includes regulatory oversight to ensure high security standards and contributing to the development of cybersecurity regulations and frameworks. Businesses would enforce these regulations, while cybersecurity experts would bridge the knowledge gap.
“The collaboration of these groups would lead to a robust and secure application system, significantly improving our ability to tackle cyber-attacks,” she stated.
