If someone had your password, could they get into your account? With MFA, the answer is no.

Multi-Factor Authentication requires at least two proofs of identity — so a leaked password alone gets an attacker nowhere.

Enable MFA today on all of your accounts.

Compliance with the Data Protection and Privacy Law goes beyond registration. Organizations must also maintain up-to-date privacy notices and contracts, enforce data handling policies, and secure their systems, among other requirements.

Yesterday, we welcomed Bill Gates and the @gatesfoundation delegation to Irembo Campus, alongside leaders from across Rwanda’s digital ecosystem, including MINICT, RISA, NIDA, BK Techouse, RSwitch, NCSA and C4IR.

We shared how Irembo is building citizen-centred digital public infrastructure by combining accessible services, community insight and technology designed around everyday needs.

Live demonstrations traced complete service journeys, while our discussions explored the potential of AI, including Kinyarwanda large language models, AI-enabled public services and more connected digital life journeys across Africa.

The next chapter of our partnership with the @gatesfoundation will focus on expanding Irembo’s capabilities in AI and Digital Health, and translating Rwanda’s experience into inclusive solutions that can create impact at greater scale.

#Deepfakes are getting harder to spot — but they still leave clues. If a video feels off, pause before you trust it.

Watch for:
1. Poor lip sync
2. Stiff or mismatched facial expressions
3. Blurry or flickering face edges
4. Unnatural eye movement

Stay alert!

Today, NCSA Chief Cybersecurity Standards Officer Ghislaine Kayigi joined a panel on "Emerging Risks and Institutional Response to Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence in Rwanda," organized by @ABA_Rwanda in partnership with @PlanRwanda.

She highlighted NCSA's role in safeguarding Rwanda's cyberspace through key frameworks: the Cybercrime Law, Rwanda's Data Protection and Privacy Law, and the Child Online Protection Policy.

During the panel discussion she called on organizations to clearly specify age groups for their content, urged internet providers to strengthen child-access filters, and stressed the importance of responsible use of AI.

She added that "Everything you put online stays online" and called on all stakeholders to be thoughtful, responsible, and proactive about cybersecurity.

Panelists agreed on the path forward — continuous awareness, verifying information before sharing, and reporting suspicious online activity. They called on policymakers, families, schools, and citizens to work together in building a safer digital environment.

Before your data becomes a record, a file, or a system entry — it’s you.

As a data subject, your personal information deserves respect, protection, and responsible handling.
Knowing your rights is the first step to keeping your data safe.

Stay informed. Stay protected.
