The Information Security Society of Africa Nigeria (ISSAN) is set to host a cybersecurity conference bringing together industry leaders, technology professionals and other stakeholders to examine emerging digital security threats and develop strategies for addressing the growing risks associated with artificial intelligence.
The conference is expected to provide a platform for discussions on the changing cybersecurity landscape, particularly the increasing use of artificial intelligence by cybercriminals to execute sophisticated attacks, manipulate digital information, compromise sensitive data and exploit vulnerabilities in organisational systems. Participants are also expected to examine the implications of these threats for businesses, government institutions and Nigeria’s digital economy.
The gathering comes amid growing concerns over the security challenges confronting organisations as they increasingly embrace digital technologies and AI driven solutions. Cybersecurity experts have consistently emphasised the need for stronger institutional preparedness, improved data protection measures, continuous security monitoring and investment in the skills required to identify and respond to emerging cyber threats.
ISSAN’s initiative is expected to strengthen collaboration among cybersecurity professionals, corporate organisations, government agencies and technology stakeholders in developing a more resilient digital environment. The conference will also provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, professional networking and discussions on practical approaches to protecting critical information infrastructure as Nigeria advances its digital transformation agenda.
