CYSEC AFRICA IN A GLANCE

In a world where the only certainty is uncertainty, CYSEC AFRICA (11th Global Edition) stands as a critical gathering for those navigating the complexities of cybersecurity.

It invites experts, innovators, and leaders to collaborate, learn, and prepare for the inevitable challenges of the digital age, ensuring that when it comes to cybersecurity, we’re all on the informed side of the divide.

CYSEC AFRICA is more than just an event; it’s where the community comes together to tackle cybersecurity head-on. This summit is your opportunity to connect, learn, and equip yourself for the digital challenges ahead.

WHY PARTNER WITH CYSEC AFRICA

WHY SOUTH AFRICA

Posing as a gateway to Africa’s digital economy, South Africa is positioning itself as a dynamic player backed by a strong cybersecurity market, robust digital policies, and a forward-looking investment landscape, thereby making it the quintessential host for CYSEC AFRICA. With the advent of the 5th Industrial Revolution, the country is also stepping up its game with e-government initiatives, smart cities, industry cloud platforms, and more. This proactive approach underscores South Africa’s commitment to embracing cutting-edge technologies while ensuring cybersecurity remains a top priority.

As we delve into discussions, workshops, and collaborations at the summit, we’re not just exploring cybersecurity trends; we’re shaping the digital security framework for Africa’s digital age.

The South Africa Cybersecurity Market size is estimated at USD 0.26 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 0.49 billion by 2029.

Despite South Africa’s various political, economic, and social challenges, it has leapfrogged into the digital age and cyberspace has been woven into the fabric of everyday life. With a digital penetration rate of 72 percent, South Africa has been referred to as the world’s most internet-addicted country.

Data breaches cost the South African economy R2.2-billion every year, but the cybersecurity market, growing at a CAGR of 12.97%, is poised to turn this
around drastically!

South Africa is Africa’s dominant cloud market, with over 60% of the continent’s data centres, leading to an Increased emphasis on better cloud security.

EXHIBITOR PROFILES

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
