The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has intensified its campaign to promote a safer digital environment by unveiling Ghanaian rapper, Edem (Denning Edem Hotor) as its ambassador for the Safer Digital Ghana Campaign 2025.
The campaign is a strategic national advocacy and awareness initiative aimed at fostering responsible digital citizenship and empowering Ghanaians to stay safe online.
It is a high-impact public awareness and education initiative designed to, among others, promote cybersecurity best practices across all age groups and sectors, combat cybercrime and digital threats, including phishing, scams, misinformation, online blackmail, and data breaches.
With over 30 targeted topics and sector-specific interventions, the campaign is grounded in real-world risks and supported by intensive media, digital, community, and stakeholder engagements.
Speaking at the launch of the campaign and official ambassadorial unveiling, the Director-General of CSA, Divine Selase Agbeti, noted that cybersecurity is not just the responsibility of governments or technology experts but everybody’s responsibility.
“Every child with a smartphone, every entrepreneur managing an online business, and every public servant using digital systems must be equipped with the knowledge to navigate cyberspace safely,” he stated.
He said government remains an enabler for cybersecurity development and is committed to working with key stakeholders to create the needed awareness and structures for the development of cybersecurity in the country.
Mr. Agbeti called for increased partnerships and support to create awareness on cybersecurity, adding that everybody and every institution is a potential victim of cyberattacks, and all hands must be on deck to build a cybersecurity culture in Ghana.
Edem, on his part, noted that he is committed to using his platform to promote cyber hygiene, encourage the reporting of cyber incidents and champion safe internet practices, especially among young people.
“Our shared mission is to ensure that every Ghanaian recognises that cybersecurity is not just a technical concern, it is a personal duty, a societal obligation and a national priority,” he added.
