The Nigerian government addresses export-related cybersecurity threats and data protection through:

 

1. National Cybersecurity Policy (2019): Provides a framework for cybersecurity in Nigeria.

2. Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR, 2019): Regulates the collection, use, and protection of personal data.

3. National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA): Oversees cybersecurity and data protection in the country.

4. Cybersecurity Act (2022): Establishes the Nigerian Cybercrime Commission to combat cybercrimes.

5. Nigeria Computer Emergency Response Team (ngCERT): Coordinates incident response and threat mitigation.

6. Sector-specific guidelines: Issues guidelines for cybersecurity and data protection in key sectors like finance, health, and telecommunications.

7. International cooperation: Collaborates with global partners to address transnational cyber threats.

8. Capacity building: Conducts training and awareness programs for government agencies, private sector, and citizens.

9. Incident response planning: Develops plans to respond to cybersecurity incidents and data breaches.

10. Regular monitoring and assessment: Conducts regular security assessments and monitoring to identify vulnerabilities.

 

These measures aim to protect Nigerian businesses, especially exporters, from cyber threats and ensure the secure exchange of data in international trade.
