NCA Hosts Delegation to Strengthen Cybersecurity Collaboration
October 23, 2026 – The National Communications Authority (NCA), on Friday, 23rd October, 2026 hosted a delegation from the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for an engagement at the NCA Tower in Accra. The engagement focused on the operations of the NCA’s Computer Emergency Response Team (NCA-CERT) and its role in strengthening cybersecurity resilience within Ghana’s telecommunications sector.
As part of activities marking the 2026 National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) organised by the CSA under the theme, “Securing Ghana’s Digital Finance Ecosystem: Building Trust Through Collaboration and Cyber Resilience”, the visit provided an opportunity to share insights into the development and operations of sectoral CERTs and their contribution to addressing cybersecurity threats.
Welcoming the delegation, Mr. Prince Ankrah, Deputy Director of the Cybersecurity Division at the NCA, described the visit as timely, highlighting the growing importance establishing and strengthening CERTs in national cybersecurity efforts across Africa. He emphasised the value of shared learning as countries continue to develop their cybersecurity capabilities and adapt to emerging challenges such as those posed by artificial intelligence (AI).
In a presentation, the NCA outlined the mandate and operations of its CERT, noting its work in incident management, threat monitoring, vulnerability assessment and digital forensics. The presentation also highlighted collaboration with the CSA and other relevant institutions through threat intelligence sharing, incident reporting and coordinated responses to cybersecurity threats affecting the telecommunications sector.
The delegation subsequently toured the CERT facility where members were introduced to monitoring dashboards and threat visualisation systems that support the team’s cybersecurity monitoring and incident response activities.
