**************************

Ethiopia is working to prevent cyber attacks by building its own digital technology capacity, Dr. Shumate Gezaw, director general of the Information Network Security Administration, said.

The director-general said that with the development of digital technology, cyber attack attempts are increasing worldwide and cyber attack attempts are also increasing in Ethiopia.

Therefore, he added that efforts are being made to prevent cyber attacks by developing a workforce that is trained and educated in the field and develop digital technology applications independently.

He also said that the development of digital applications on their own will ensure the right of ownership of technology and thus create the ability to prevent cyber attacks.

He also mentioned that ensuring the digital transformation is the most important for the success of Ethiopia's plans to achieve universal growth at all levels.

In this regard, 75 percent of the cyber attack prevention and protection technologies currently used in Ethiopia are developed in the country.

ESA reported that by further increasing this effort, Ethiopia will carry out cyber defense activities with fully developed technologies on its own.

He also explained that Ethiopia is working to prevent cyber attacks in a manner that takes into account the geo-politics of the region.

He also pointed out that various activities are currently being carried out to increase public utility and ensure cyber sovereignty.
