Data for: Cybersecurity and Resilience: Assessment of Financial Institutions in Ethiopia (2024–2030)
Description
This dataset contains the primary empirical findings from a comprehensive cybersecurity audit conducted across 30 domestic financial institutions in Ethiopia, including Tier-1 commercial banks, mid-tier lenders, and microfinance institutions (MFIs). The research was designed to evaluate the "Techno-Functional" alignment of the sector following the implementation of the National Digital Payments Strategy (NDPS) 2030. Key components of the dataset include: Maturity Matrices: Quantitative assessment of 153 technical and administrative controls across five core domains: (1) Cyber Risk Management, (2) Threat Intelligence, (3) Technical Controls, (4) Vendor Risk, and (5) Incident Management. The Resilience Divide Data: Stratified mean scores identifying the maturity gap between systemically important banks (Group A) and evolving lenders (Group C), supported by a One-Way ANOVA (F=159.23, p < 0.001). Recovery Performance Metrics: Empirical analysis of the "Golden Hour" containment window, utilizing data from the 2024 fraud surge to map unrecoverable losses against mean-time-to-recovery (MTTR). Structural Correlation: Data demonstrating the high-degree correlation (r = 0.88) between specialized staffing levels and institutional technical maturity. This data provides the foundational evidence for the proposed Sovereign Shield (Regulator-as-a-Service) architecture, offering a blueprint for national-level cybersecurity resilience in emerging digital economies.
