- Title
Securing Zambia's Business Future: Cybersecurity Guidelines for SMEs.
- Authors
Saar, G.; Dagada, R.
- Abstract
This study examines cybersecurity awareness and practices in Zambian SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) that are vulnerable to increasing cyberattacks with significant financial impacts. Through semi-structured interviews, cross-sectional analysis, and reviews of the CISA and ENISA guidelines and Zambian Data Protection Act, insufficient training, defective policy, and reliance on basic tools have been identified as reasons for cyber insecurity. The researchers' tailored guidelines whetted the interest of Zambian authorities. This research introduces a Cyber Awareness Framework for Zambian SMEs--emphasizing the human element in cybersecurity. Future research should encompass more SME sectors, should address outdated demographic data, and should focus on less digitized businesses.
