On 9 and 10 May, public and private actors meet in Abidjan to reflect on how to deal with new cybersecurity risks, real obstacles to growth in Africa.

The second edition of the Cyber Africa Forum (CAF) will be held in Abidjan on May 9 and 10, under the high sponsorship of Patrick Achi, Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire, and in the presence of major players in the cybersecurity ecosystem such as Huawei, Deloitte, Orange or Ecobank. It is co-organized by Ciberobs, a reference platform on cybersecurity in Africa and Jeune Afrique Media Group.

Focused on the theme "Digital sovereignty and data protection, levers of economic growth for the African continent", the discussions of this second edition will address the emergence of new cybersecurity risks, related to practices associated with the digitization of African societies (teleworking, digital and/or decentralized finance, e-commerce, sovereignty in a context of geopolitical tensions, etc.).
