The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has sensitised staff of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) on emerging cybersecurity threats and safe online practices as part of activities marking the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) 2026.

The engagement aimed at strengthening participants’ understanding of cybersecurity risks and promoting responsible digital practices to safeguard the Fund’s information and digital assets. Participants included the Chief Executive Officer of MIIF, Mrs. Justina Nelson; the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. David Awuah Mensah; the Human Resource Manager, Jennifer Labiley Mensah; and staff of MIIF.

Mr. Stephen Cudjoe-Seshie, the Deputy Director-General for Technical Operations at the CSA, spoke on the growing financial implications of cybercrime, with reported cyber-related financial losses increasing from GH¢22.5 million in 2025 to GH¢209.7 million between January and September 2026.

The staff were educated on common cyber threats, including phishing, impersonation, social engineering and email compromise, and their potential consequences, such as financial loss, data breaches and business disruption.

In addition, practical cybersecurity measures were shared to help staff identify suspicious online activities, protect sensitive information, secure their digital accounts and respond appropriately to potential cyber incidents.

They were urged to report suspected cybersecurity incidents to the CSA.
