We treat hacking as a cybersecurity issue. We treat fake news as a media issue. That is a mistake. Disinformation runs the same kill chain as malware. The target is just different: your reputation, not your server. #Disinformation afrcyber.org/disinformation…

Is a digital ID on your phone the future or a threat? It promises greater security and privacy, but also risks surveillance and exclusion. The tech is here, but building trust is the real challenge. #DigitalIdentity afrcyber.org/can-we-finally…

Legacy verification is failing against AI, deep fakes, & synthetic fraud. The solution is High-Assurance Identity Verification: a layered defence using biometrics and real-world digital signals. #DigitalIdentity afrcyber.org/high-assurance…

AI's rapid rise brings new security risks from autonomous agents and smarter attacks. With 'shadow AI' use growing internally, organisations must adopt zero-trust security, continuous monitoring, and defensive AI to navigate the evolving threat. afrcyber.org/navigating-the…

LLMs are empowering cyber attackers with automated, hyper-realistic phishing and polymorphic malware against AI agents. Defenders respond with AI detection, secure-by-design practices, human oversight, and 24/7 monitoring to counter this evolving threat. afrcyber.org/the-ai-powered…

AI reshapes security: protect data itself, not just perimeters. Use encryption-in-use, minimise data, secure training pipelines, monitor model behaviour, and document for evolving regulations to stay resilient. #DataSecurity #AISecurity afrcyber.org/future-proofin…

The severity of network vulnerabilities is alarming and organisations are overwhelmed. As modern networks become more nimble, diverse and big, the attack surface becomes more expansive and fierce. #CyberRisk afrcyber.org/prioritising-r…
