Day 1 of Uganda’s inaugural National Cybersecurity Conference has been a great start.
Day 2 is tomorrow, and we’d love to have you stop by our booth! Come meet the team at the National ICT Innovation Hub and explore some of the solutions our innovators are building.
See you tomorrow!
📸 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋: Representing @FitspaUG on a high-level panel at the inaugural National Cybersecurity Conference 2026, Director @krkwesigaa joined industry and regulatory leaders for a discussion on “Preparing for a More Secure Digital Future by Protecting Digital Financial Services: Addressing Social Engineering, SIM Swap, and Account Takeover.”
The panel brought together Diana Tukundane Agaba, CISO, @stanbicug; Kenneth Kwesiga, Director, FITSPA and CEO, @ioTec_Limited; Dr. Abudu-Sallam Waiswa, Head of Litigation, Prosecution & Legal Advisory, @UCC_Official and Japhet Aritho, Managing Director, Airtel Mobile Commerce Uganda Limited. The session was moderated by Joseph Kizito, Head of Consumer Affairs, UCC.
The conversation explored how Uganda can strengthen the security of digital financial services while ensuring that cybersecurity and compliance measures remain practical and accessible, particularly for smaller and emerging innovators.
In his contribution, Kenneth highlighted the realities faced by growing fintechs, including the cost of accessing secure infrastructure and the cybersecurity risks associated with shared USSD environments.
He emphasised that cybersecurity goes beyond technology, noting that people remain one of the biggest sources of risk. Staff awareness, data protection policies, access controls, and responsible handling of customer information are therefore critical to protecting both institutions and their customers.
He also highlighted the opportunity for fintechs to leverage affordable, pay-as-you-use solutions such as SIM swap, device swap, number recycling, and identity verification APIs, rather than having to build every security capability from scratch.
At FITSPA, we remain committed to supporting our members in strengthening their technology, people, and risk management capabilities, while contributing to a secure, resilient, innovative, and inclusive digital financial ecosystem.

Satya is right.
Technology alone rarely changes the world.
Ecosystems do.
The automobile needed roads.
The internet needed networks.
Smartphones needed app developers.
AI will need an entire ecosystem of builders, researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, and creators.
The companies that understand this won’t just build products.
They’ll build the infrastructure everyone else depends on.
That’s where the real revolution begins.”
Or a sharper version aimed at Musk’s audience:
“First came hardware.
Then software.
Then platforms.
AI is becoming the operating system for everything.
The winners won’t be the companies with the smartest model.
They’ll be the ones that build the ecosystem everyone else is forced to use.
Interesting indeed.

Uganda’s digital payments ecosystem continues to grow rapidly.
According to Bank of Uganda figures, digital payment transactions grew from 7.6 billion transactions worth UGX 285.9 trillion in 2024 to 9.1 billion transactions worth UGX 363.8 trillion in 2025.
This growth has largely been driven by the rising adoption of mobile money and electronic payments, continued improvements in payment infrastructure and interoperability, and a growing consumer preference for faster, easier, and more convenient payment channels.
