SPARK STAGE

CYBERSECURITY

As Africa continues to experience a technological revolution, driven by the rapid expansion of networks, sensors, AI and automation, the continent is on the cusp of reaching new heights. The internet economy is expected to contribute $180 billion to the African economy by 2025, yet despite this rapid growth, Africa’s level of commitment to cybersecurity and capacity to respond to threats remain low compared to other countries. Recent cyberattacks and vulnerabilities have exposed the dire need for Africa to create an intercontinental regulatory cybersecurity framework and to store data in safe and trusted systems that protect privacy and are difficult to breach. The stakes are high as major disruptions caused by cybercrime can have far-reaching consequences for economies, governments and individuals alike.

The Cybersecurity Forum at GITEX AFRICA offers platform for key industry leaders and experts to come together and discover innovative strategies to safeguard their countries against cybercrime. Join us to hear from the leaders discuss immediate action to ensure that Africa’s digital future is secure, prosperous and inclusive for all.
