Sodiya also tasked government on the need to set up Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) for swift response to attack incidences.

According to him, “Government should set up a Computer Emergency Response Team in all government sectors for swift response to attack incidence, and also develop a multi-lingual attack reporting platform”.

“For proactive cybersecurity management, corporate organization and government should make sure that all connections to the network are known, documented, and monitored. And the intelligence of hackers must be harnessed by the government for the development of our nation”, he added.

Emphasising on the need for capacity development in mitigating the challenges of cyber attacks and ensuring adequate cybersecurity management, the University Don charged the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta and some other institutions to support the creation of a College of Computing so as to develop the adequate manpower and expertise needed in the field of cybersecurity.
