ABOUT EVENT
AfICTA organizes the 6th 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. All these standards and solutions used on the Gartner magic quadrant are not 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 major contributors, the responsibilities of public and private sectors, the necessity for Digital Sovereignty, and the need for innovative indigenous solutions and standards based on our realities. All this amongst others would be discussed fully at the e-Conference.
