Angola digital cybersecurity program implementation

Overview

The Angolan government has announced a $4.6 million investment to launch the Digital Government Cybersecurity Program. Formalized by presidential decree, the initiative is part of the Angola Digital Acceleration Project (PADA), which is funded through an agreement with the World Bank.

The program aims to strengthen information system protection, safeguard critical infrastructure, and secure data for public digital services. Key objectives include assessing cybersecurity maturity, defining protection strategies, and establishing a Security Operations Center for incident response. This move follows recent security incidents, including a cyberattack on Unitel on August 28 that disrupted nationwide mobile and internet services, as well as previous claims by the CyberTeam group regarding unauthorized access to the National Assembly and government ministries.
