The global cyber threat continues to evolve at a rapid
pace, with a rising number of data breaches each year. A report by Risk Based
Security revealed that a shocking 7.9 billion records have been exposed by data
breaches in the first nine months of 2019 alone. This figure is more than
double (112%) the number of records exposed in the same period in 2018.
Today, in one form or another, most organizations are
on the path to digital and some are fully there. This has presented businesses
with new opportunities and challenges, organizations as a necessity, must
rethink cyber protection in this digital age. Thus, strategies and consequent
policies to tackle cybercrime have become top priorities in many emerging
markets, and their adoption requiring strong commitment from national
authorities and the allocation of appropriate resources and capacities.
As a leader in knowledge content consolidation and
capacity building, FITC in partnership with NIBSS will host the biggest virtual
cybersecurity conference in Nigeria, themed "Combating Cybercrime: Strategies
for Strengthening Emerging Markets", scheduled to hold on Thursday, September
