Cyber Intelligence Africa 2022 is being held in Johannesburg, South Africa this February 08-09.
This will be the first Cyber Intelligence event on the African continent. During the inaugural Cyber Intelligence Africa conference and exhibition 2-day show, you will hear from the regional governments who will discuss national cyber security strategies and policies, combating cybercrimes across Africa, international cooperation, threat intelligence and detection capabilities and building cyber awareness.
This event will provide you unrivalled access to the region’s key government officials who are implementing national cyber security programs and building cyber defense capabilities.
The South African government is working hard to become a more cybersecure nation in the coming years. According to recent rankings, they are heading in the right direction; however, there are still vulnerabilities that need stabilizing.
