Gabon — Cyber Threat Profile

In 2026, Gabon is rapidly modernizing its digital defenses through a partnership with the National Agency for Digital Infrastructure and Frequencies (ANINF). A primary focus is the development of a sovereign data center and a national digital ID platform. To support this, the government has launched an initiative to train over 1,000 young Gabonese and women in cybersecurity and digital skills via the Cisco Networking Academy. Gabon's 2026 roadmap prioritizes the protection of its banking and extractives sectors, aiming to create a secure, resilient ecosystem that attracts foreign investment and secures the nation's path toward a competitive digital economy.
