South Sudan — Cyber Threat Profile

South Sudan passed the Cybercrime and Computer Misuse Bill 2025 through its Transitional National Legislative Assembly in November 2025, ending a multi-year legislative process. The bill now awaits presidential assent. The South Sudan Computer Incident Response Team (SS-CIRT) operates under the National Communication Authority, providing the primary institutional response capacity. The Central Bank and private sector organizations have suffered confirmed cyber incidents. Internet penetration remains low, concentrated in Juba, but mobile connectivity is expanding the threat surface. Human rights groups have flagged that the new cybercrime law contains provisions risking abuse against journalists and activists.
