Digitalization And Cyber Space Regulations In Cameroon: Challenges And Opportunities

Abstract

The regulation of cyberspace in Cameroon is increasingly critical as the country navigates the complexities of advanced digitalization. However, With the on-going Anglophone crisis in the two English-speaking regions of Cameroon, individuals, businesses and the government are increasingly becoming at risk of being targeted by cyber criminals. Amid this challenge, Cameroon has enacted a law relating to Cyber Security and Cyber Criminality and trained personels to fight cybercrime. In spite of these measures, cybercrime is still rampant and the question is why?. As internet usage increases, so does exposure to cyber threats such as hacking, data breaches, and online fraud. This paper's aim is to investigate the extent to which effective cyber space regulation can be achieved in Cameroon to support safe digitalization. By employing the theory of Digital Sovereignty as its theoretical construct while adopting advocacy for liberation as it's philosophical framework, this paper argues that, the proliferation of internet and volume of digital transactions does not correlate significantly with the evolution of national cyber security regulations in Cameroon The paper however strongly recommends, the development of a centralized monitoring digital and evaluation framework to track the progress of digitalization efforts and assess their impact.
