Abstract:
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) were designed to serve as a useful guide for focused and coherent action on sustainable development at the global, regional, national and local levels, and also help to mainstream sustainable development into the United Nations system by 2030. Information, a leading factor of production cutting across all sectors lacks the due consideration as a significant enabler of progressive development of infrastructure and e-readiness for improved service delivery. Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) players have set up a local, regional and global collaboration arena which inevitably involves among others intensive information sharing, collaboration, distribution and preservation in the cyberspace, powered by assorted information communication technologies (ICTs). The cyberspace, however, has been targeted by cybercriminals with the view to compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of strategic information systems in the CII.
