Beyond the Breach
Join us for a executive breakfast on Building Cyber Resilience Through Threat Intelligence on Wednesday 3 June 2026 at Hyatt Place, Westlands in Nairobi
Overview
The Africa Cyber Defense Forum (ACDF), with Enovise and SOCRadar, is convening a half-day executive breakfast in Nairobi on cyber threat intelligence and resilience. The event brings together CISOs, IT and risk leaders, regulators, and security practitioners from across East Africa to confront a sobering reality: the region’s rapid digital transformation has outpaced its collective cyber defence posture.
📅 Wednesday 3 June 2026
⏱️ 8:30 AM – 12:00 Noon
📍 Hyatt Place, Westlands
🍽️ Executive Breakfast
Context
East Africa is digitising at speed. Mobile money, fintech, e-government, and critical infrastructure are scaling rapidly — and so is exposure. The National KE-CIRT/CC reports hundreds of millions of cyber threat events each quarter, while regulators tighten enforcement under the Data Protection Act, the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, and CBK cybersecurity guidance. Yet most organisations remain reactive: chasing alerts, short on talent, and operating without visibility into the threats actually targeting them. This event addresses that gap.
Objectives
Provide a clear-eyed view of the current threat landscape facing East African enterprises and public institutions
Demonstrate how modern threat intel shifts organisations from reactive defence to proactive anticipation
Share practical, regionally relevant frameworks for building cyber resilience under real-world constraints
Strengthen the regional and continental cyber defence community through candid peer exchange
Target Audience
- CISOs, CROs, CIOs
- Heads of Risk and Compliance
- IT Directors
- Security Operations Leaders
- Representatives of Regulatory and Government Cybersecurity Agencies
Priority sectors include banking, SACCOs, fintech and mobile money, telecommunications, government and parastatals, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
