The Managing Director of Nigeria’s Galaxy Backbone, Prof. Ibrahim Adeyanju, recently discussed the agency’s recertification under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This certification is seen as a critical step toward protecting Nigeria’s digital space, especially its financial sector, against the growing threat of cyber fraud.
Prof. Adeyanju emphasized that this recertification demonstrates Galaxy Backbone’s commitment to safeguarding sensitive financial data, mitigating cyber threats, and supporting the growth of Nigeria’s digital economy. The move follows alarming reports, such as one from Check Point Software Technologies in November 2024, showing frequent cyber attacks on businesses, particularly in the financial sector.
Adeyanju reassured financial services partners and customers that they could trust Galaxy Backbone to provide secure, resilient, and high-performance infrastructure that meets global regulatory standards, further bolstering Nigeria’s efforts to combat cybercrime and ensure a safer digital environment.
