The growing Nigerian Economy and the fast developing use of Information Technology applications and infrastructure has generated a lot of excitement in the corporate world, but it has also come with its huge challenges that most technology experts have said if not clearly addressed, would create issues for individuals, the corporate world and the entire polity.

A number of financial institutions and other corporate bodies are fast going digital, discussions on public and private clouds are topical issues today and one of the biggest concerns for CIOs across industries is ‘how secure is data under this new dispensation; what measures must be taken to mitigate or prevent hackers from penetrating our applications and infrastructure’.

Across most corporate organizations in Nigeria and across the Sub Saharan African region, there are a lot of stories not been reported due to one reason or the other, but the facts are there to show that there are huge security challenges that bother on ICT infrastructure.

These issues and many more would be addressed at this year’s Hackcess Conference which has been themed ‘IT Security and the Different Shades Of the (Hack): The Emerging Africa Challenge’.

Hackcess is an African idea that is kicking off in Nigeria and would be driven subsequently in the major cities across the Sub-Saharan African market. Technology professionals are advised to be part of this conference by registering on hackcess.co .
