Abstract
The Malawi Government Cyber Security Incident Reporting System Using Artificial Intelligence is an innovative solution designed to strengthen the nation’s cybersecurity resilience through the integration of artificial intelligence within a unified incident reporting and management framework. The system serves a dual purpose: it enables government institutions to effectively monitor, detect, and respond to internal cyber threats, while also providing a public-facing platform through which citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders can report cybersecurity incidents such as phishing attacks, malware infections, or data breaches. By leveraging AI-driven algorithms, the system automates the detection, classification, and prioritization of reported incidents, providing real-time analysis and response recommendations that facilitate efficient mitigation of cybersecurity risks. The inclusion of a public reporting portal encourages active participation by offering an intuitive and accessible interface for submitting detailed incident reports, including optional uploads such as screenshots or supporting documents. This participatory approach fosters national collaboration and strengthens the overall cybersecurity
posture of Malawi.
The system is designed to minimize the impact of cyber threats on critical infrastructure, public services, and sensitive data, while promoting a proactive and inclusive cybersecurity culture across the nation. Technically, the platform is built using modern web technologies to ensure scalability, security, and ease of access. The backend architecture is powered by Django, a robust Pythonbased framework responsible for secure data processing, user authentication, and workflow management. The frontend employs Bootstrap to deliver a responsive, user-friendly design that enhances usability across diverse devices.
