Empowering women and girls for an inclusive digital future.

It's been a week of learning, information sharing and building as the Commission hosted the Domain Name Systems workshop this week. Attended by participants from the telecoms sector, banking, academia as well as government, the main focus was on how Eswatini can strengthen her cybersecurity and the mitigation of domain name systems abuse.
It was facilitated by the Cybersecurity Centre for Southern Africa (C3SA) based at the University of Cape Town.
Together we can build a safe and secure Eswatini.
