Identity Crisis in the Digital Age: A Cyberweek Africa Perspective

Identity Crisis in the Digital Age: A Cyberweek Africa Perspective

In the modern digital landscape, identity has become the new perimeter of cybersecurity. As organizations move to cloud environments, remote work models, mobile platforms, and AI-driven systems, traditional network boundaries have dissolved. What remains constant is identity and it is now the primary target for cybercriminals. The growing “identity crisis” in cyberspace is not a theoretical concern. It is a security reality.
