Information, communication, technology, infrastructure and internet access have grown rapidly and individuals, businesses and governments use electronic devices to communicate and conduct business.
This was said by he minister of information, communications, science, technology and innovation, Nthati Moorosi during her presentation on the Computer Crime and Cybersecurity Bill 2023, before the national assembly last week.
Moorosi said the objective of the Bill is to provide for the establishment of the National Cybersecurity Advisory Council and the National Cyber Security Incident Response Team responsible for the management of cybersecurity in Lesotho.
“The National Cybersecurity Advisory Council shall be responsible for advising the government on cybersecurity policy development and national cyber security strategies.
“The Bill provides that Lesotho should cooperate with other States in the fight against cybercrime,” she said in a statement.
However, Moorosi said the use of technology comes with challenges, as criminals misuse technology to commit crime.
