Identity is the bedrock of the internet. We advance secure and equitable digital identity for Africa. A core initiative of the @AfrCyber. #DigitalID

Identity is not enough in our current threat landscape. In an agentic world, you must govern delegation.

We treat hacking as a cybersecurity issue. We treat fake news as a media issue. That is a mistake. Disinformation runs the same kill chain as malware. The target is just different: your reputation, not your server.

Is a digital ID on your phone the future or a threat? It promises greater security and privacy, but also risks surveillance and exclusion. The tech is here, but building trust is the real challenge.

Legacy verification is failing against AI, deep fakes, & synthetic fraud. The solution is High-Assurance Identity Verification: a layered defence using biometrics and real-world digital signals. #DigitalIdentity https://t.co/7Ef2VQnY1v

AI's rapid rise brings new security risks from autonomous agents and smarter attacks. With 'shadow AI' use growing internally, organisations must adopt zero-trust security, continuous monitoring, and defensive AI to navigate the evolving threat.

LLMs are empowering cyber attackers with automated, hyper-realistic phishing and polymorphic malware against AI agents. Defenders respond with AI detection, secure-by-design practices, human oversight, and 24/7 monitoring to counter this evolving threat.

AI reshapes security: protect data itself, not just perimeters. Use encryption-in-use, minimise data, secure training pipelines, monitor model behaviour, and document for evolving regulations to stay resilient.

The severity of network vulnerabilities is alarming and organisations are overwhelmed. As modern networks become more nimble, diverse and big, the attack surface becomes more expansive and fierce.
