CWG Ghana, a leading technology solutions
provider, has been licensed by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) as a Tier 1
Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSP). This prestigious recognition places CWG
Ghana among the first companies to receive this accreditation under the Ghana
Cybersecurity Act, 2020, marking a significant milestone in its journey and
reinforcing its position as a regional cybersecurity leader.
"This is an immensely proud moment for us.
It validates our relentless commitment to working hard and smart while
following best practices for the best interests of our clients and
stakeholders. This recognition is not just an accolade, but a responsibility we
take very seriously,” Harriet Attram Yartey, Managing Director of
CWG Ghana, said.
CWG Ghana offers a comprehensive suite of
cybersecurity services that address current challenges in the national digital
landscape. These services include Identity and Access Management, Penetration
Testing, Breach and Attack Simulation, Data Protection, Email Security
Solutions, Enterprise and Endpoint Security, Threat Intelligence & Digital
Risk Protection, Enterprise Fraud Management, Anti-Money Laundering, and
Governance, Risk and Compliance solutions.
Mrs. Yartey elaborated on the company's
approach, explaining that it deploys context-aware, customer-aware, real-time,
cross-channel solutions that monitor enterprise-wide 360º, digesting all
transactions and actions for necessary intervention and prevention. “This is
particularly crucial at a time when
Ghana has already experienced 4 million data breaches halfway through the year.
Our goal
is to create a robust defence against the ever-evolving cyber threats,” she added.
To meet the stringent requirements of the
Cybersecurity Act, 2020, CWG Ghana has implemented a series of robust measures.
These include conducting regular internal and external audits, providing
continuous employee training on cybersecurity best practices, establishing
incident reporting systems, and maintaining thorough documentation of all
compliance activities.
The company is also at the forefront of
adopting advanced technologies to stay ahead of cyber threats. "We are
investing in AI-driven security analytics and machine learning algorithms to
identify and respond to threats in real-time," Mrs. Yartey explained. "We
are also implementing a Zero Trust security model and enforcing Multi-Factor
Authentication for all access points to add extra layers of security,” she
added.
Looking to the future, CWG Ghana has ambitious
plans to contribute to strengthening Ghana's cybersecurity infrastructure,
including the launch of a robust cybersecurity training and awareness drive
through our CWG Training Academy.
"This initiative aims to empower corporate
institutions and individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to protect
themselves in the digital space. We believe that investing intelligently in
AI-driven solutions and human capacity building is key to staying ahead of the
curve in protecting individuals and businesses in both the real and digital
worlds,” the
CWG MD stated.
The company's future strategy also includes
closer collaboration with the CSA and participation in national and
international cybersecurity initiatives. This approach aims to ensure that CWG
Ghana remains at the cutting edge of cybersecurity practices and continues to
meet the highest standards in the industry.
As cyber threats continue to evolve and the
line between the physical and digital worlds becomes increasingly blurred, CWG
Ghana is positioned to play a pivotal role in safeguarding Ghana's digital
future. "We are not just protecting data; we are securing Ghana's
digital future, and this Tier 1 CSP status is a testament to our capabilities,
but more importantly, it is a pledge to our clients and Ghana that we will
continue to innovate, educate, and protect against the cyber threats of today
and tomorrow."
