The Ghana Cybersecurity Industry Forum (GCIF) is set to launch a significant event in November to heighten awareness about emerging cyber threats and methods of defense against them. Titled 'Cyberfest', the gathering, scheduled for next year, will convene cybersecurity experts from Ghana and adjoining nations. The event will also include musical performances by various artists.
This initiative is part of a series of actions planned by the forum to boost public understanding of cybersecurity, including student engagement programs and community roadshows.
Mr. C. K. Bruce, the Interim President of GCIF, emphasized the importance of intensifying public education due to the changing tactics employed by those involved in cybercrime. The forum's effort to escalate public cybersecurity education is set to commence with the 'Cyberfest' event, which promises to be a major platform for dialogue and learning on the subject.
