With 500 million internet users, Africa holds great potential for digital growth and this overwhelming figure is just 38% of the continent’s mammoth population. As per Interpol, the continent witnessed a significant spike in cybercrime post COVID-19 where the online banking platforms had to endure a 238% rise in cyberattacks in 2020. Consequently, Africa and Middle East’s cybersecurity market has been projected to reach $23.4 billion by 2023.
The event will attract 1500+ pre-qualified cybersecurity experts (in-person & virtual) including the Heads of Information Security, Risk, Compliance, Forensics and Cyber Law from the leading public and private enterprises across Africa.
