Tanzania’s Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Angellah Kairuki, has directed operators of critical ICT infrastructure to enhance their security protocols. The directive comes amid growing concerns about potential threats to vital systems. Kairuki emphasized that damage to this infrastructure could lead to significant security risks and broader negative consequences for the nation. Operators who fail to comply with increased security measures will be subject to a substantial fine of 100m/- (Tanzanian Shillings). The move underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding its digital landscape and protecting national interests. This order signals a proactive approach to cybersecurity within Tanzania. Further details regarding specific security upgrades are expected to be announced shortly.
