The Chief Executive Of- ficer of Cybervergent, Mr. Adetokunbo Omotosho,\u00a0 has called for more homegrown solutions to solve cybersecurity challenges in the country.
\nOmotosho said this in an interview with The Tide\u2019s source\u00a0 in Lagos, recently.
\nHe noted that bringing foreign digital cybersecurity solutions to solve challenges peculiar to Nigeria could\u00a0 be cumbersome and might go through a lot of processes before adaptation.
\nAccording to him, Nigeria needed solutions that are developed locally either for cybercrime or physical crime that can be paid for in naira.
\nHe said when cybersecurity solutions are too expensive, only few people would be able to afford them.
\n\u201cCybervergent has developed indigenous solutions that is helping the security architecture of Nigeria. Our own solutions are basically compatible with our needs, which do not necessarily require bringing foreign solutions to solve our cybersecurity challenges\u201d, he said.
\nAlso, Omotosho noted that it was essential to establish partnerships between government agencies, academic institutions, and the private sector to promote innovation and the development of indigenous cybersecurity technologies.
\nHe further urged the government to provide support, funding, and incentives to cybersecurity startups working on innovative cybersecurity solutions.
\nThe expert recalled that these startups could\u00a0 play a significant role in creating homegrown technologies.
\nThe Tide\u2019s source\u00a0 gathered that Cybervergent is a technology company providing cybersecurity solutions for large scale and effective solutions.
\nThe company also handles cybersecurity compliance solutions, security, risk and privacy programmes and data security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
