Central African Republic — Cyber Threat Profile
CAR is rapidly building cybersecurity structures. In late 2024 it created the Central African Internet and Security Cell (CCIS) to centralize cyber defense. Still, it lacks a dedicated national CERT and comprehensive cybercrime legislation. CAR aligns with regional ECCAS frameworks and has a data protection law. Infrastructure and capacity gaps remain large. Cyber threats are mostly opportunistic crime and misinformation. The government and international partners, including the UN and ITU, provide support for capacity building and institutional development.- World Cybercrime Index 2024 (origin significance): 0.14 / 100, #85 worldwide
