Opened by a senior governmental official from the host country of Ghana, experts from across Africa and the rest of the world will form an unrivalled international speaker panel.

The aim is to educate on ‘best practice’ strategies to protect businesses and governments in Africa against the latest economic, physical and logical threats.

Discussions will focus on the protection of key business and government assets – people, information, reputation and profit. This years’ main theme is managing security in line with business & economic realities – how can organisations assess and effectively respond to increasingly uncertain security risks in an effective and cost-effective manner?
