THE NATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (NITDA)

 THE NATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (NITDA)

In Nigeria, the body responsible for data protection laws and regulations is the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). NITDA is an agency under the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, tasked with the responsibility of developing and regulating information technology practices in Nigeria.

NITDA introduced the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) in 2019, which serves as the primary data protection framework in Nigeria. The NDPR outlines the rules and guidelines for the lawful processing of personal data within Nigeria and applies to both public and private sector organizations.

As the regulatory authority, NITDA is responsible for the enforcement and implementation of the NDPR. It oversees compliance with data protection requirements, provides guidance and interpretations of the regulations, and takes appropriate action against organizations found to be in violation of the NDPR.

Organizations operating in Nigeria or processing personal data of Nigerian citizens are expected to comply with the NDPR and engage with NITDA for matters related to data protection and privacy.

 DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK- SYN FLOOD ATTACK Hping :  Hping is a popular command-line network tool that is used for various purposes related to network troubleshooting, security assessment, and penetration testing. It is known for its ability to send custom TCP/IP packets and perform advanced network scanning and testing. Here are some common use cases for Hping: Network scanning: Hping can be used to perform port scanning, where it sends TCP or UDP packets to specific ports of a target system to identify open ports, closed ports, or filtered ports. This information can be useful for network administrators to assess the security of their network or for attackers trying to identify potential entry points.   Firewall testing: Hping can help evaluate the effectiveness of firewalls by sending packets with various flags and payloads to test how the firewall responds. It can help identify potential weaknesses or misconfigurations in firewall rules.   Denial-of-Service (DoS...

A Publication by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)

  A Publication by the National Institute for Standards and Technology Financial data is continuously at risk of theft from external cyber threats. These threats have the potential to cost financial institutions like banks and credit unions millions of dollars in damages. The persistence of these threats remains an issue to those within the computer security domain. Security managers and executives need guidance on how to manage information systems under their purview and address these threats as they develop. Enter the NIST 800. The NIST 800 series is a technical standard set of publications that details U.S. government procedures, policies, and guidelines on information systems - developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This non-regulatory agency assists agencies by supplying information to aid in information systems governance.   Application of the NIST 800 Series While they may not hold any data regarding that particular aspect, specific c...
