Protecting Nigeria's Critical Infrastructure: Cybersecurity Expert Urges Vigilance Amid Rising Attacks

Adetokunbo Omotosho, CEO of Cybervergent, highlights the imperative for heightened vigilance in Nigeria amidst a surge in cyber-attacks on public infrastructure. Omotosho underscores the severe consequences such attacks can have on stability and well-being, urging continuous monitoring and collaboration between public and private sectors.

Investing in robust cybersecurity measures is viewed as an essential step for safeguarding critical national infrastructure. Omotosho emphasizes the interconnectedness of cybersecurity with a nation's economic health, as successful cyber-attacks can lead to economic losses and potential job cuts.

Recent global incidents, including Russian state-sponsored hacks in Denmark and the RansomExx ransomware attack on Trinidad and Tobago's largest telco, accentuate the escalating threat. Microsoft's Digital Defense Report 2023 reveals over 120 countries faced cyberattacks, with Ukraine, Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan topping the list.

Omotosho calls for the Nigerian government to enhance efforts in securing the nation's infrastructure. While acknowledging ongoing initiatives, he suggests that the private sector is currently outpacing government agencies in cybersecurity. The government's focus on digitization necessitates a growing emphasis on cybersecurity.

The transformation from Infoprive to Cybervergent signifies more than a name change for Omotosho's company. It represents a strategic shift towards becoming a technology powerhouse in the cybersecurity landscape, utilizing AI and machine learning algorithms.

In conclusion, Cybervergent aims to embody the convergence of cutting-edge technology, visionary leadership, and a steadfast commitment to safeguarding businesses in the digital age, starting in Nigeria, Africa's largest economy.
