Chad — Cyber Threat Profile
Chad is among the lowest-performing African countries in the ITU 2024 Global Cybersecurity Index, rated in the Evolving tier with minimal measurable progress since 2021. The country has no operational national CERT and limited legislation specifically addressing cybercrime or data protection. Infrastructure is concentrated in N'Djamena, with rural connectivity minimal, which reduces the overall attack surface but also prevents any meaningful national defensive posture. Political instability following successive transitions of power has consistently deprioritized digital governance. Russian-linked influence operations are active in the country as part of broader Sahel disinformation campaigns.- Data protection authority: Agence Nationale de Sécurité Informatique et de Certification Électronique (source: CNIL)
