To address the ongoing cyber risks facing business operations across the continent, RX Africa will be launching the inaugural Infosecurity Africa - the African edition under leading global cybersecurity and information security events group, Infosecurity – in 2023.

Cybercrime is an ongoing risk, making awareness and strong IT defences a vital part of any business strategy. Infosecurity Africa will showcase the latest in trends, threats, and cybercrime prevention from 9-11 May 2023 at the Gallagher Convention Centre. Co-located with the 12th Africa Automation Technology Fair (AATF2023), both shows will be held in one venue.

“Africa is on a growth track and its rapid technological evolution, while opening many positive opportunities, has also made the region attractive to cybercriminals. Many African countries have seen a rise in digital threats and malicious cyber activities, and this is a huge risk for all companies in the region, particularly with IoT being a major component in modern manufacturing. There is certainly a need to fight cybercrime with vigor, using the latest prevention methods possible,” says Philip Woods, Events Director: Business and Technology at RX Africa.

Infosecurity Africa will encompass all businesses need to know about information security, backed by RX Africa’s 25 years of experience in facilitating top events. Included on the agenda are discussions around cybersecurity in manufacturing, dealing with IT supply chain attacks and building awareness and education programmes for cybersecurity hygiene.  Register for InfoSecurity and AATF here.
