Last September 5, Le Cercle Africain de Cybersécurité (CAC), a regional association aimed at enhancing cybersecurity in Africa, was launched in response to the new cyber threats facing the continent.

The CAC brings together cybersecurity/cyberdefense professionals, government representatives, cybersecurity business leaders, lawyers, and academics. It aims to encourage digital security initiatives, develop a cybersecurity culture and raise awareness on the threats that could impede countries’ economic growth.
