In a significant turn of events, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, has partner with Ethnos and OneIdentity/Quest for the launch of the Ethnos Cybersecurity Erudition Series.
This groundbreaking initiative aims to bolster Cybersecurity
awareness and expertise among key stakeholders in Abuja, particularly within
the public sector.
In an age where digital governance is becoming increasingly
prevalent, cybersecurity emerges as a critical concern for governments
worldwide, including Nigeria.
The integration of modern technologies has undoubtedly
improved efficiency in governmental operations, but it has also introduced new
vulnerabilities such as Identity Theft and Phishing. Hence, there is an urgent
need for comprehensive Cybersecurity education and readiness.
The Ethnos Cybersecurity Erudition Series seeks to address
these pressing issues by providing a platform for security experts and
public-sector stakeholders to engage in informative discussions and knowledge
sharing.
With the theme “Navigating Cybersecurity Risks: Strategies
for Securing Your Digital Perimeters,” the event emphasizes the importance of
proactive measures in safeguarding against evolving cyber threats.
Notable highlights of the event include a special message
from Dr. Bosun Tijani, along with a keynote address by technology evangelist
and investor Yemi Keri.
Additionally, Identity Security expert Bradley Dupreez from
South Africa will lead a technology session. The event will also feature
contributions from esteemed figures such as DG of NITDA Kashifu Inuwa
Abdullahi, EVC/CEO of NCC Dr. Aminu Maida, National Commissioner/CEO NDPC Dr.
Vincent Olatunji, and DG/CEO of NIMC Engr. Bisoye Coker-Odusote, to name a few.
Peter Ejiofor, CEO of Ethnos, expressed enthusiasm about the
event, highlighting its focus on Identity Security and its relevance to
Directors and Technology Experts across various government agencies. Co-hosted
with OneIdentity/Quest, the event will present insights from both local and
international experts on proactive strategies for mitigating digital threats,
exploring the evolving nature of identity threats, and offering insights into
risk prevention and detection.
Scheduled for 26th March 2024, at the Tamarind Hall, Abuja
Continental Hotel, FCT Abuja, the event will run from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
