Cameroon — Cyber Threat Profile
Cameroon's cybersecurity ecosystem remains in an emerging stage. A 2010 cybersecurity law exists, but enforcement capacity is limited. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the ANTIC agency coordinate cybercrime response and digital security initiatives. Rapid internet adoption has driven rising incident volumes, including ransomware and online fraud. National campaigns aim to improve cyber awareness and youth digital literacy. Cameroon participates in African Union cybersecurity initiatives, though workforce certification capacity and institutional resources remain constrained.- National CERT/CSIRT: CIRT/cm
