The Technological Evolution

The accelerated evolution of technology in Africa presents a monumental opportunity for the continent to achieve an integrated and prosperous continent, as outlined in the African Union's Agenda 2063. Internet usage has grown significantly throughout Africa in recent years, indicating valuable technological progress with immense economic potential. While this technological advancement offers numerous benefits and opportunities, it is vital to acknowledge the associated risks of increased technology exposure. Prioritizing cybersecurity is essential for companies, organizations, individuals, and governments to ensure a secure future aligned with the continent's aspirations.
