The ThinkNnovation Cybersecurity Conference 2025, will commence on October 22nd, 2025, at the Four Points by Sheraton, Victoria Island, Lagos, with focus on tackling fraud in the financial services sector.
With the theme: “Securing Tomorrow: Cyber Resilience, Intelligent Defense and the Architecture of Trust in a Borderless World,’ the conference according to organiser, Financial Institutions Training Centre (FITC), in collaboration with the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), is aimed at tackling sophisticated fraud schemes in the financial services sector, including cross-border ransomware attacks on governments and businesses.
“Cybercrime has become one of the most urgent threats facing Africa’s digital economy. From sophisticated fraud schemes in the financial services sector to cross-border ransomware attacks on governments and businesses, the cost of cyber insecurity is mounting at an alarming pace” says Dr. Chizor Malize, MD/CEO of FITC.
“This year’s theme, “Securing Tomorrow: Cyber Resilience, Intelligent Defense and the Architecture of Trust in a Borderless World,” reflects the critical need to strengthen Africa’s cyber defenses as digital transformation accelerates across every sector, she said.
“As Africa moves boldly into the digital age, its economic future depends on one word — trust,” adding that “ThinkNnovation 2025 is not just another conference; it is a platform for urgent dialogue and concrete action. We must design cyber resilience into every layer of our systems — payments, identity, regulation, and infrastructure — if Africa is to secure its digital tomorrow,” she added.
