Sudan's phishing attack rate of 4.7% in 2026 reflects ongoing digital security vulnerabilities amid increasing online activity. Limited cybersecurity infrastructure and awareness contribute to the rising threat, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures. Despite economic challenges, investments are gradually improving the nation's cyber defenses to combat these threats effectively.
With an internet penetration of 35%, Sudan faces significant challenges in securing its digital ecosystem. The cybersecurity budget of USD 150 million supports efforts to reduce cyber incidents, which totaled around 3,200 in 2026. Building a skilled cybersecurity workforce remains critical for Sudan to mitigate future cyber threats and protect its digital assets.
