Mozambique’s National
Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (INTIC, IP) has held a
regional consultation in Beira, Sofala Province, to gather stakeholder input on
the proposed National Cybersecurity Strategy 2026–2030.
The workshop, held on
October 6, 2026, sought contributions from local institutions and other
stakeholders on the region’s main cybersecurity challenges, risks and needs to
ensure the strategy responds to the different realities across the country.
The consultation comes amid
increasing use of digital services by citizens, public institutions and the
private sector, which has heightened the need to strengthen Mozambique’s
capacity to prevent, respond to and recover from cyber incidents.
INTIC was represented by the
Director of the Cybersecurity Division, Eng. Eugénio Jeremias, accompanied by
cybersecurity consultants Eng. Michel Leve and Algy Adamo, who are assigned to
the National Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), and Finnish
consultant Perttu Luhtakanta, who provides technical support for updating the
strategy.
Discussions covered the
prevention, detection and response to cyber incidents, as well as the capacity
to recover and maintain services in the face of threats affecting systems,
networks and digital infrastructure.
The proposed National
Cybersecurity Strategy 2026–2030 seeks to strengthen cyber resilience, protect
citizens and data, and ensure the continuity of essential services while
promoting greater security and trust in the digital space.
The Sofala workshop forms
part of the national consultation process led by INTIC and highlights the
importance of cooperation among public institutions, the private sector,
academia, civil society and other stakeholders in building a safer, more
resilient and reliable cyberspace for Mozambicans.
