CyFrica 2020: Accelerating Cyber Security for a Safer Africa

Tradepass has launched CyFrica (Cyber Africa Summit) 2020, scheduled to take place on 25 – 26 February 2020 in Lagos, Nigeria.

With technology adoption continuing to rise in Africa and use of digital platforms experts are of the opinion that Africa has become fertile ground for cybercrime. To elaborate, BFSI sector accounts for nearly one-fourth of the continent’s losses to cybercrime, followed by government bodies, e-commerce, mobile-based transactions and telecommunications.

Most African countries have now started proactively taking measures to help agencies fight cyber crime. With that as the background, CyFrica 2020 is a knowledge sharing platform for cyber security experts to come together and discuss the latest challenges, trends, technologies and innovations which help promote and encourage a ‘Cybersafe Africa’.

Focused on the theme, “Accelerating Cyber Security for a Safer Africa”, the event will bring together 300+ IT, Risk, Compliance, Cyber Law, Law Enforcement decision makers, innovators and visionaries from 150+ top companies from across various industries on one platform.
