Addressing Africa’s Growing Cyber Threats

The Africa Cyber Fest comes at a critical time when cybersecurity threats are rising across the continent. With a 44% internet penetration rate, Africa is witnessing a rapid proliferation of digital technologies. However, this growth has also led to a surge in cybercrime, turning it into a multi-billion dollar industry. Attacks, ranging from malware to ransomware, pose significant risks to individuals, businesses, and governments, highlighting the urgent need for cybersecurity measures.
