As you may know, Africa is big.

As you may know, Africa is big. The continent comprises 54 countries with extensive linguistic, cultural, and political variation. This can make it difficult to create communities of practise and enable the type of information sharing that are seen in other parts of the world.

In the past two years, the FIRST Africa Regional Liaison (ARL) initiative has directly supported 1,210 cybersecurity professionals, delivered more than 50 targeted initiatives across 33 countries, and maintained sustained engagement with at least 70 Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).

Lawrence Mulchiwa and Eric Akumiah are FIRST's Africa Liaisons and they have told their story in a blog. And it's a big story for a big place.
