The Office of Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has urged institutions to stop covering up when they experience cyber-attacks, even as it expresses worry over a serious shortage of professionals in the cybersecurity profession, at a time when the country is witnessing an increase in using cases of online attacks.
Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait noted that many institutions are still hiding the fact that they are facing attacks from cyber-criminals in their digital operations, even as it becomes difficult to sustain cybersecurity professionals due to competition in the industry.
