**"Hello, my name is Mariahno Akot.** I’m a cybersecurity specialist and digital rights advocate based in Juba, South Sudan. With over 13 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity, my work focuses on building resilient systems and empowering communities to navigate digital threats in a region where internet access is growing but cyber risks remain underaddressed. My journey began as a network engineer, but witnessing the rise of cyber fraud and data vulnerabilities in our communities drove me to specialize in cybersecurity. Today, I collaborate with NGOs, government agencies, and international partners like the **ITU** and **UNDP** to: - Design cybersecurity frameworks tailored to South Sudan’s infrastructure challenges. - Train local businesses and schools on data protection and phishing prevention. - Advocate for national policies to combat cybercrime and protect citizens’ digital rights. In 2023, I led a project with the **South Sudan Computer Society** to launch the country’s first cybersecurity awareness campaign, reaching over 10,000 people with workshops on password hygiene and online safety. My mission is to bridge the gap between South Sudan’s digital growth and its cybersecurity readiness—ensuring innovation thrives without compromising security. I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals passionate about securing Africa’s digital future. Let’s collaborate to turn challenges into opportunities!"
