Togo’s National
Cybersecurity Agency (ANCy) has concluded a nearly two-week national
cybersecurity awareness tour to educate communities about cyber threats and practical measures to protect their accounts, personal data, and digital
activities.
The campaign ended on
Friday, September 18, 2026, in Notsè, where the agency brought together local
authorities, public service leaders, private companies, young people, women,
professionals, community actors and other citizens.
The awareness programme was
carried out in partnership with Cyber Defense Africa, the ANCy’s technical and
operational arm. The teams travelled through six prefectural capitals: Blitta,
Elavagnon, Anié, Kougnohou, Danyi and Notsè.
Across the locations, the
campaign focused on cybersecurity threats affecting the population and simple
actions individuals and organisations can take to reduce their exposure to
cyber risks.
Participants were encouraged
to remain vigilant when using digital services, particularly by checking
information before clicking on links, remaining cautious about unusual requests
and protecting their online accounts and personal data.
The ANCy also urged members
of the public to report cybersecurity incidents to CERT.tg, with the agency
providing 70549325 as a reporting contact.
