A Review of Novice Strategies against Cybercrime: How can Improved Cybersecurity Strategies be Used to Protect Mobile Devices from the Threat of Cybercrime in Zambia?

Abstract: - The incidence of cybercrime in Zambia is increasingly becoming a significant concern, as evidenced by the reported cases exceeding 100,000 in 2022, with projections indicating a potential escalation in the future. The high accessibility and control of mobile devices compared to conventional computers have rendered them prime targets for cybercriminals. This review aims to evaluate the strategies employed by inexperienced individuals in combating cybercrime and suggest enhanced cybersecurity measures to bolster the safeguarding of mobile devices. The study utilized an extensive literature review methodology, examining scholarly articles, reports, and relevant online sources. The study results provide insight into the prevailing cybercrime situation in Zambia and the susceptibilities linked to mobile devices. The subsequent discourse examines diverse strategies to alleviate these susceptibilities and provides suggestions for individuals, institutions, and decision-makers to enhance cyber protection measures. The following discourse delves into the strategies employed by novices to combat cybercrime, which include the implementation of antivirus software, robust passwords, and security configurations. Nonetheless, it is contended that these tactics in isolation are inadequate in ensuring the protection of mobile devices from the perils of cybercrime. As a result, enhanced cybersecurity tactics are being investigated, including adopting dual-factor authentication, mobile device management (MDM) applications, and data encryption. The significance of education and awareness in preventing cybercrime is also deliberated. The review concludes by emphasizing the necessity of implementing advanced cybersecurity measures to protect mobile devices against cyber threats in Zambia.
