Cyber security is at the heart of the transition of a digital society. It is a key pillar in ensuring a trusted and secure digital economy, giving confidence to all participants and allowing businesses to prosper and thrive. The rapid and widespread uptake of digital technology by households and businesses following the COVID-19 pandemic underscores the importance of digital technology as an economic enabler. Hundreds of Mauritians are working from home, staying connected through apps and using essential services. Many bricks and mortar businesses are moving online. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the nature of cyber threats has evolved considerably.

Opportunist cyber criminals quickly adapted their methods to take advantage of the situation as more people are working, studying and connecting online. Affordable and low-tech attacks such as online scams, ransomware, phishing and malware will continue to rise. The stability and prosperity of any country largely depend on the security and reliability of cyberspace which can be jeopardized by technical causes, social media based threats, natural phenomena or deliberate aggressions.
