ABOUT EVENT
AfICTA organizes the 5th edition of its e-Conference series, with the theme “Insider Risks: Secure Digital Identity and Solving the Challenges of Modern Remote Access in the Post-COVID-19 World”.

What can you do to improve the monitoring and mitigation of insider risk in these unique conditions?
