Conference Overview

The Africa Cyber Fest is a youth-focused cybersecurity conference that gathers young talents in Africa to foster knowledge sharing and capacity building, aiming to strengthen the resilience of Africa’s cybersecurity ecosystem.

Africa is becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats as the continent adopts digital transformation processes. Attacks range from simple email scams to large-scale theft of customer data using malware, ransom attacks, and disinformation or fake news. These can have wide-ranging effects, including financial losses, reputational damage, and disruption of business and government operations.
