About our Conference
This is the premier cyber event in Africa. The one you simply can't afford to miss
Listed below are reasons you must attend.
Poor cyber security is increasingly affecting society today. Its impact is visible on a national, local, and personal level. With a few strokes of a keyboard, nation states, terrorist groups, stateless organizations, and rogue individuals can launch a cyber-attack from anywhere, at any time, disrupting and damaging our democracy and way of life.
The Data Protection Act 2018 ("DPA") was assented to by parliment August 2018 and is now in force. This critical piece of legislation will have huge implications on how you store, collect and protect you data. There will be huge fines for non-compliance and data breaches up to P1 million and the possibilaty of long custodial sentence.
This year’s conference will feature breakaway sessions with the speakers. You can book your spots in these sessions in advance. We will make this years’ experience highly interactive and with the latest technology on display and access world class advice

Our conference is designed to reflect the growing challenges that cyber security poses by not being contained within the realm of IT alone.
read more +Women play a crucial role in the field of cybersecurity. Despite being underrepresented, women bring unique perspectives and skill sets that are valuable to the industry.
One of the main reasons why women are important in cybersecurity is because of the growing demand for professionals in this field. As technology continues to advance, cyber threats become more sophisticated and complex. The need for cybersecurity experts has never been greater, and it's essential that we encourage more women to enter this field to ensure a diverse workforce.
Women also tend to bring different approaches to problem-solving than men do. Women may be more likely to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to cybersecurity challenges. Additionally, having a diverse team can lead to better decision-making, as team members can challenge each other's assumptions and biases.
Our Conference promotes having more women in cybersecurity to help address the gender gap in technology overall. By encouraging more women to pursue careers in cybersecurity, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and diverse tech industry.
read more +We have a spectacular line-up of local, regional and international speakers from the technology world, law enforcement, and risk analysts who will examine emerging critical threats in cyber security and data protection.
When it comes to addressing and ultimately combating cyber-risk, and cyber-crime, we understand that security specialists, programmers, ethical hackers have to find ways to collaborate in order to win the fight against increasingly brazen criminals.
