Taking part at the first-ever GITEX Africa, the largest technology event on the continent, from May 31st to June 2nd in Morocco under theme is ‘Accelerating Transformation,’ the company’s DigiGlass team will be present at the event to provide comprehensive information on Managed Security Services and emphasise the importance of its adoption in today’s increasingly digital era for African businesses.
As businesses in Africa expand their digital infrastructures, there is a growing demand for experts to enhance security measures. According to a recent report, Africa’s internet economy is projected to contribute $180 billion to the overall economy by 2025, reaching $712 billion by 2050. This economic growth presents opportunities for job creation and innovation, but also poses significant cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities across the continent.
Dharshana Kosgalage, Head of Technology Solutions Group, Redington, said, ” Cybersecurity is a critical issue for Africa, as the continent is increasingly getting connected to the internet.
