The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) is set to elevate its National Cybersecurity Conference into an international event this year. This move comes on the heels of the US Mission's involvement in Nigeria's cybersecurity efforts, signaling a collaborative approach to enhancing digital security, as stated in the official source.
Expansion of the Conference
The expansion of the conference aims to build resilience within Nigeria's cybersecurity framework, fostering a secure environment for digital transformation. By addressing data and financial risks, NITDA seeks to create a robust platform for discussions and knowledge sharing among global cybersecurity experts.
Partnerships with US Cybersecurity Firms
In addition to the conference, NITDA is actively pursuing partnerships with US cybersecurity firms. This initiative is designed to bolster Nigeria's cybersecurity ecosystem and develop local talent capable of creating innovative cyber solutions. The agency's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity capabilities reflects a proactive stance in safeguarding the nation's digital landscape.
On January 13, the Lagos Council of AUATON partnered with Wema Bank to enhance financial services for e-hailing drivers, a move that contrasts with NITDA's focus on cybersecurity. For more details, see read more.
