I had the distinct honor of presenting at the joint event hosted by the Smart Africa Group (SAG) and the American Chamber of Commerce Tanzania (AMCHAM), centered around the theme of digital transformation. During this occasion, my presentation centered on illuminating the pivotal role of cybersecurity within the context of digital transformation. By delineating the significance of prioritizing robust cybersecurity measures, I aimed to emphasize the intrinsic interdependence between technological advancement and safeguarding digital ecosystems. This comprehensive discourse underscored the imperative for a heightened commitment to cybersecurity in order to navigate the evolving digital landscape with resilience and foresight.
