AfICTA Q2 2021 e-Conference
Cybersecurity Innovation: How Africa can contribute?
About the Event
AfICTA organizes another edition of its e-Conference series, with the theme “Cybersecurity Innovation: How Africa can contribute?”. Our continent is a consumer and user of cybersecurity solutions and standards. None of the standards and solutions featured on the Gartner magic quadrant are African.
Join us as we discuss cybersecurity innovation in Africa, the state of consumption of cyber solutions and standards, what needs to be done for Africa to become a major contributor, the responsibilities of the public and private sectors, the necessity for digital sovereignty, and the need for innovative indigenous solutions and standards based on our realities.
On the agenda
Discussion Points
- Africa’s contribution to the global cybersecurity ecosystem.
- What are the responsibilities of the public and private sectors?

- Do we need cybersecurity standards based on our realities?
- Does the road to digital sovereignty pass through innovation in the cybersecurity ecosystem?
- The state of digital identity security.
- Proposal of concrete solutions.
