“…Some countries in North America and Western Europe display a high level of cybersecurity mindset which is demonstrated by deploying targeted and countrywide cybersecurity awareness‐raising initiatives, by giving cybersecurity one of the highest priorities in their planning, and by encouraging and enforcing compliance with cybersecurity standards and regulations (Creese et al, 2021; ENISA, 2021a). Technological powerhouses in South‐East Asia (e.g., China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea), also display high levels of cybersecurity mindset by displaying similar attributes (Christine & Thinyane, 2020). Despite recognizing the importance of creating cybersecurity awareness and developing healthy cybersecurity mindset, awareness‐raising initiatives in African countries are reported to remain embryonic (Dutton et al, 2019).…”

At the beginning of 2020, the world came to a stand-still when governments across the globe decided to enter states of 'emergency' or 'disaster' over the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The responses to the pandemic included stringent movement restrictions and hygiene advice preventing face-to-face interactions. As a result, many activities, including schooling, working, and shopping were moved online, drastically increasing exposure to cyber threats and risks. It is unclear if and how the rapid increase in internet use corresponded to an improvement in cybersecurity mindset development in countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). This paper explores the effect of the increase in digital technology usage due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on the relationship between cybersecurity awareness-raising initiatives and the development of higher levels of cybersecurity mindset in Botswana, Lesotho, and Malawi. These three countries have a similar cybersecurity footprint and an average cybersecurity capacity level for the region.The research applies a comparative multiple case study approach relying on a thematic review of the literature and related documents, supported by in-depth interviews with purposefully selected key informants from the three selected SADC countries. Findings suggest that since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, awareness-raising programs have gained some momentum in our selected countries, but the cybersecurity mindset has not improved. That was attributed to low frequency and poor quality of campaigns added to the lack of training, education and lived experience. The paper highlights the need to increase the frequency and improve the quality of programmes, for greater impact on the development of local cybersecurity mindsets.

“…Linkov et al [13] proposed a resilience matrix framework consisting of four phases: plan/prepare, absorb, recover, and adapt, each associated with the four domains of network-centric operations doctrine: physical, informational, cognitive, and social [14]. The overlap of these phases and domains leads to resilience metrics that were further refined in a follow-up study by [15].…”

Cyber resilience refers to an organization's ability to maintain its essential functions, services despite cyber-attacks and swiftly recover from any disruptions. It involves proactive measures like gathering threat intelligence and managing risks, as well as reactive measures such as incident response planning, data backup and recovery. To achieve cyber resilience, organizations must implement robust cyber security measures, regularly update their incident response plans, and educate employees on safe online practices. Furthermore, having a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy in place is crucial to swiftly restore critical systems and data in the event of an attack. Overall, the proposed framework emphasizes cyber resilience as a continuous and proactive approach for managing cyber security risks and safeguarding against the growing threat of cyber-attacks.
