Africa Cybersecurity Alliance

As an organisation, we are looking forward to the collaboration between the @NGRPresident and @CyberpediaHQ in deepening Artificial Intelligence as a subject matter and the AI-Driven Civic Dialogue Initiative.

Congratulations to The Gambia Cybersecurity Alliance on the completion of the 10-month long cybersecurity training for The Gambian Armed Forces. For Africa to be cyber resilient, training programs like this should happen often as knowledge remains the first line of defence.

The Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System estimated that 52.3 billion naira ($34.8 million) was lost to fraud in 2024, compared to 11.6 billion naira in 2020. Money lost to fraud in Nigeria’s banking system has nearly tripled over the past five years. 🔗guardian.ng/news/nigerian-…

However, AI also has some unique security challenges that pose a threat, especially within Africa. Africa, on the whole, is more of a consumer than a producer when it comes to interacting with AI technologies.
