Lesotho Communications Authority (LCA), the statutory body responsible for regulating Lesotho’s communications sector, has announced a strategic partnership with CTM360, a leading name in digital risk protection.
This collaboration, says LCA, marks a significant milestone in advancing cybersecurity capabilities and strengthening digital infrastructure in the communications sector in Lesotho.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed, laying the foundation for a joint initiative aimed at bolstering the Lesotho communications sector’s defence against evolving cyberthreats.
The primary partnership empowers LCA with real-time threat visibility into cyber risks targeting Lesotho’s critical infrastructure. Through CTM360’s consolidated cybersecurity stack, the initiative will enable proactive detection, continuous monitoring, and mitigation of digital threats across the communications sector.
Mr Mirza Asrar Baig, the CEO of CTM360, describes the collaboration as a joint commitment to safeguard Lesotho’s critical infrastructure which includes MNOs, ISPs, and other essential communication sectors.
This MoU also facilitates comprehensive external cybersecurity assessments for LCA and its licensees, leveraging CTM360’s advanced threat intelligence and monitoring capabilities. These assessments will support both reactive and preventative strategies for managing cyber risks.
As the CEO of LCA, Mr Nizam Goolam, points out: “This partnership comes at a critical time as we navigate the complexities of a fast-evolving digital landscape. By joining forces with CTM360, we are taking a proactive step to strengthen the communication sector’s cybersecurity resilience and ensure the protection of key systems.”
