Cybersecurity risks can vary between countries, depending on a variety of factors such as a country’s level of technological development, government policies, and the types of industries and organizations that operate within the country. In the United States, the primary cybersecurity risks include advanced persistent threats (APTs) from nation-state actors, cybercrime, and data breaches. The U.S. government and private sector organizations have invested heavily in cybersecurity, but the country’s large and complex infrastructure, as well as its position as a global leader in technology and innovation, make it a target for cyber-attacks. The US also has strict laws and regulations to protect personal data and has a more coordinated approach to cybersecurity. In contrast, Nigeria is a developing country, with a growing economy. However, it still faces development challenges, particularly in terms of income inequality, poverty, and infrastructure. In terms of cybersecurity, Nigeria has been known for its high number of cybercrimes, especially internet scams. The country is considered a major source of spam and phishing e-mails, as well as advance fee fraud schemes which can even include kidnapping and ransom of victims that fall for these schemes. I am sure the government has taken some steps to address these issues, but more needs to be done to improve awareness and education about cyber risks, and to implement effective cybersecurity measures. Additionally, the level of technology penetration and access to technology and the internet is lower in Nigeria than in the United States, which can limit the risk of cyberattacks, but also limits access to the benefits of technology. In summary, the United States has a more developed and advanced approach to cybersecurity, with strong government involvement and robust private sector efforts, while Nigeria, as a developing country, faces more challenges in terms of cybersecurity, especially in terms of cybercrime, awareness, and regulations.
