officials from Ethiopia’s Defense War College have undertaken a professional
visit to the Information Network Security Administration (INSA) as part of
efforts to align military strategy with evolving technological capabilities.
The

cybersecurity operations. Discussions centered on modern cyber warfare
strategies and the country’s preparedness to address emerging digital threats.
During

cyber operations.
