As organizations become increasingly reliant on digital technologies to carry out important internal processes, interact among themselves and their customers and store information, the challenge of protecting digital assets from attacks is currently one of the topmost challenges of our time.
In Africa, the COVID-19 Pandemic has accelerated processes that were already in motion towards a more digitized economy.
Amidst these new opportunities however, there is a crucial need to augment cybersecurity capacities and bring the cyber-preparedness of African firms to global standards.
The need for enhanced cybersecurity across board in Africa is even more essential considering the inter-connectedness of the global economy.
