Cyberweek Africa 2026 is where Africa meets the world to shape the future of cybersecurity. As digital economies become increasingly interconnected, cyber threats transcend borders, making cybersecurity not simply a national challenge, but a shared global security responsibility. The 5th Edition of Cyberweek Africa returns to Nairobi, bringing together governments, cybersecurity authorities, defense and law enforcement, technology companies, financial institutions, academia, development partners and the global cybersecurity community under the defining theme: Cyber Threat Intelligence in the Age of AI. The programme focuses on Cyber Threat Intelligence, public-private collaboration, AI-powered defense, cybercrime, AI governance, digital trust, critical infrastructure, post-quantum security, agentic AI, cloud and FinTech security, data protection and the next generation of cyber skills. More than a conference, Cyberweek Africa is a platform for connecting intelligence, institutions and people across borders strengthening international cyber cooperation, building trusted intelligence-sharing relationships, connecting African innovation with global technology ecosystems, and ensuring that Africa is not simply responding to the future of cybersecurity, but actively helping to define it.
Cybersecurity, AI, and quantum technologies can no longer be addressed separately; over four days, delegates will engage with world-class insights spanning security automation, AI governance, data trust, Cyber Crime, Online Money laundering, post-quantum cryptography, agentic AI, robotics, and the skills organizations need to build next. Cyberweek Africa 2026 is where Africa’s digital security future takes shape.

Understanding Adversarial Attacks Against Machine Learning & AI. As AI and Machine Learning become embedded in critical systems, they are creating new attack surfaces and security risks. Cyberweek Africa examines Adversarial Machine Learning (AML) attacks specifically designed to exploit vulnerabilities in ML models across their development, training and deployment lifecycle. Such attacks can manipulate model behavior, compromise sensitive information and potentially affect interconnected systems. The key message is clear: AI security must be built in from the beginning. Developers, cybersecurity professionals, decision-makers and risk owners must understand AI-specific threats and strengthen security throughout the ML lifecycle.
Building robust systems, institutions, and societies that can withstand, adapt to, and recover from cyber threats.
Exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping threat detection, defence strategies, and cyber operations.
Understanding evolving cybercrime tactics and strengthening trust in Africa’s digital economy.
Protecting energy, healthcare, transport, water, and telecommunications systems from cyber disruption.
Balancing innovation, surveillance, and human rights within Africa’s regulatory and cultural contexts.
Driving harmonised laws, cross-border collaboration, and public–private partnerships across Africa.
Safeguarding digital payments, mobile money, banking platforms, and emerging financial technologies.
Addressing skills gaps, insider threats, and building a cyber-aware workforce and citizenry.
Security challenges in IoT, smart cities, 5G/6G, blockchain, and connected ecosystems.
Examining cyber warfare, state-sponsored threats, and Africa’s role in global cyber stability.
Developing education pathways, certifications, mentorship, and job-ready cyber talent.
Positioning cybersecurity as a driver of innovation, investment, entrepreneurship, and digital growth.
