Sudan's cybersecurity workforce remains underdeveloped, with only about 1,200 professionals as of 2026. The gap indicates a need for approximately 4,800 additional experts to meet the growing digital threats. The government and private sector are investing around $25 million annually to enhance cybersecurity measures, but more targeted training programs are essential to bridge this gap.
Cyberattacks continue to rise, with over 10,500 incidents detected monthly, highlighting the increasing cyber threats faced by Sudanese institutions. Despite this, less than half of organizations have formal cybersecurity policies, leaving many vulnerable to attacks. Strengthening workforce capacity and policy implementation are critical for improving Sudan's cybersecurity resilience in 2026.
