ITWeb and ITWeb Africa, in collaboration with Cloudflare, will host a free webinar titled "Defending Sub-Saharan Africa's Digital Frontlines" on July 29, 2025.
The webinar will cover strategies for mitigating the rising threat of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and application attacks in an age of fast digitalisation.
While digitalisation on the African continent reaches an all-time high, cyber threats are simultaneously growing at pace.
Specifically, ransomware and advanced phishing attacks are being widely experienced, however targeted application-layer attacks are also becoming increasingly prevalent and disruptive.
Whatever size or focus of a digitally-enabled organisation – be it a start-up e-commerce platform, critical government department or a leading financial institution – cyber threats, such as HTTP floods, bot-driven abuse, and vulnerability exploitation, continue to disrupt the availability, performance, and security of essential web applications.
To this end, the webinar will provide actionable insights to strengthen application-layer defences, and advice on how to bolster an organisation’s resilience against the evolving web application threats facing Sub-Saharan Africa.
Participants will also find out how threat actors are exploiting application vulnerabilities at scale, impacting sectors vital to Africa's economic growth.
Cloudflare's Graham Turnbull will lead the discussions for this exclusive webinar customised specifically for information security decision makers across Africa and exploring the latest trends in Layer 7 DDoS and application-layer attacks.
The webinar is aimed at senior IT, security or risk decision makers in the financial services, insurance, legal, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, agriculture or public sector.
Invited participants include chief information officers, chief digital officers, chief information security officers, IT directors, chief technology officers, information security managers, IT infrastructure managers, heads of Infrastructure and VPs of security.
