The Global South is recognized as one of the fastest growing regions in terms of Internet population as well as the region that accounts for the majority of Internet users. With increasing connectivity to and dependence on Internet-based platforms and services also comes the increased potential for information and cybersecurity threats and attacks. Further, it has long been established that micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a key role in national economies, serving as important drivers of economic growth in Global South economies. Yet, little is known about information security, cybersecurity and cybercrime issues and strategies contextualized to these developing economies and MSMEs. Cybercrime and Cybersecurity in the Global South: Concepts, Strategies and Frameworks for Greater Resilience examines the prevalence, nature, trends and impacts of cyber-related incidents on Global South economies. It further explores cybersecurity challenges, potential threats, and risks likely faced by MSMEs and governments of the Global South. A major thrust of this book is to offer tools, techniques, and legislative frameworks that can improve the information, data, and cybersecurity posture of Global South governments and MSMEs. It also provides evidence-based best practices and strategies relevant to the business community and general Information Communication Technology (ICT) users in combating and preventing cyber related incidents. Also examined in this book are case studies and experiences of the Global South economies that can be used to enhance students' learning experience. Another important feature of this book is that it outlines a research agenda to advance the scholarship of information and cybersecurity in the Global South.
