Description
As Africa’s digital economy accelerates, cybersecurity has become a key determinant of economic stability and investment attractiveness. The growing number of cyber incidents exposes financial systems, public services, and critical infrastructure, increases operational risks, and raises the cost of capital. This panel focuses on how governments and businesses can integrate cybersecurity as a prerequisite for the development of digital markets, regional integration, and long‑term investment. It addresses the regulatory frameworks, investments, and public–private partnerships required to strengthen cyber resilience and secure sustainable digital growth.
