Digital Economy: Securing eCommerce and Minimizing DNS Abuse
28th-29th November, 2019
Countdown
Overview:
#AfICTASummit2019
under the auspices of
With a GDP of about $400 billion, Nigeria is Africa’s biggest economy. Economic liberalization has drawn investors from across the world to the country’s vast market - not just its oil. In fact, over the past decade, average GDP growth rates of around 7% were driven not by oil, the major export, but by the non-oil sector.
The most recent data suggested that services accounted for 57% of GDP, in part due to growth in ICT and the increasing uptake of domain names for e-Commerce. The National Communications Commission (NCC) estimated that ICTs contributed up to 10.1% to economic output in 2018, with the potential to increase to 20% by 2050.
Notwithstanding the progress recorded, major challenges in the sector remain. Some of these include the issue of consumer trust and confidence in online transactions in the face of growing DNS abuse, online fraud and other forms of cybercrime. With a lack of access to registration directory service due to the need for compliance with European GDPR and other Data Protection Regulations including the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), law enforcement efforts are hampered and trust in justice for online businesses is becoming a concern.
